Svnapot is a poor solution to the problem.

On one hand it means that that each page table entry takes up half a cache line for the 16KB case, and two whole cache lines in the 64KB case. This really cuts down on the page walker hardware's ability to effectively prefetch TLB entries, leading to basically the same issues as this classic discussion about why tree based page tables are generally more effective than hash based page tables (shifted forward in time to today's gate counts). https://yarchive.net/comp/linux/page_tables.html This is why ARM shifted from a Svnapot like solution to the "translation granule queryable and partially selectable at runtime" solution.

Another issue is the fact that a big reason to switch to 16KB or even 64KB pages is to allow for more address range for VIPT caches. You want to allow high performance implementations to be able to look up the cache line while performing the TLB lookup in parallel, then compare the tag with the result of the TLB lookup. This means that practically only the untranslated bits of the address can be used by the set selection portion of the cache lookup. When you have 12 bits untranslated in a address, combined with 64 byte cachelines gives you 64 sets, multiply that by 8 ways and you get the 32KB L1 caches very common in systems with 4KB page sizes (sometimes with some heroic effort to throw a ton of transistors/power at the problem to make a 64KB cache by essentially duplicating large parts of the cache lookup hardware for that extra bit of address). What you really want is for the arch to be able to disallow 4KB pages like on apple silicon which is the main piece that allows their giant 128LB and 192KB L1 caches.

> Policework is dangerous

Not nearly as much as people believe. Most lists of dangerous jobs in the US have police below jobs most people consider to be pretty mundane. For instance, this list [1] ranks it at #22. Below occupations like "garbage collector" and "crossing guard"

Yeah we might end up just circling back to VR over AR and prioritizing immersive gaming, the only thing you can't do on a smartphone / desktop.
People also start to take on roommates or become roommates. People in general want a place of their own. However as rent goes up they will start to be willing to rent the upper bunk in a bedroom, and people who do have a place to live start to become willing to rent out part of their bedroom just to afford the rent. For most this is the last option they will take (homeless might be better if they can find a place to sleep the night outside)
Not entirely related (except the block size), but I am considering making and standardizing a system-wide content-based cache with default block size 16KB.

The idea is that you'd have a system-wide (or not) service that can do two or three things:

- read 16KB block by its SHA256 (also return length that can be <16KB), if cached

- write a block to cache

- maybe pin a block (e.g. make it non-evictable)

I would be like a block-level file content dedup + eviction to keep the size limited.

Should reduce storage used by various things due to dedup functionality, but may require internet for corresponding apps to work properly.

With a peer-to-peer sharing system on top of it may significantly reduce storage requirements.

The only disadvantage is the same as with shared website caches prior to cache isolation introduction: apps can poke what you have in your cache and deduce some information about you from it.
Sad.

That's a great question. So basically it is a mixture between a set of carefully crafted pattern matching and our own entity recognition model to detect sensitive information or PII. It's a small model that we ship as part of Omnifact to allow companies to run the whole platform on-premise. If you have any other questions about the privacy filter or the whole platform, let us know!
It's far from perfect, but the large providers do give you tools for categorizing your charges (tagging, etc). There's some fuzziness, especially around data transfer, but for the most part developers can look at an application and know what the cost of each resource is. The biggest risk seems to be out-of-control auto scaling turned on without doing reasonable analysis first.
> managing your crypto keys, which is a skill in and of itself.

Um, depending on how complicated/paranoid you want to get?

Install the Phoenix wallet app and you've got your keys and Lightning node ready to go, pending added liquidity. Sure, it's not maximally secure, but a person can perform transactions outside the banking system pretty easily this way. No need to so consciously "manage" anything.

Phone not secure enough? Fine – then get a hardware wallet like Ledger.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding your point?

> And if you hire someone to do it for you now you are right back where you started, trusting a third party.

If, by hiring someone, you mean using a custodian like Kraken, then you're still solving a problem by not dealing with the traditional banking system. Sure, you're back to trusting a third party, but that's really not the issue at hand, but avoiding Big Bank.

> The right answer IMHO is to do business with a bank that is small enough that you have a contact there whom you personally know and will pick up the phone when you call.

Seems like a nice idea, yet very optimistic. Is everyone supposed to have a personal contact from within a small bank? Probably works for some people, but involves luck and wouldn't scale. The issue isn't really being solved this way.

The closest compromise might be to work with credit unions instead of banks.
It wasn't "Google", it was Larry, apparently on a whim of the moment. It wasn't managers in general, it was project managers. And as I understand it, the project managers were called right back in, so Google was actually never run without them.

That happened in 2001, and is arguably the reason Eric stepped up to take the reins from him.

Google Home was kind of magical when it launched, but as its reliability has degraded over time, its appeal has worn off. It is still nice to be able to ask it to play music or set an alarm or whatever without engaging with a screen.

Interesting, is the German postcode not used for transaction validation? I know the American payment processors definitely use ZIP codes for validation - see anecdote 1.

That said, there are definitely situations where the payment processors don't require the ZIP code - see anecdote 2.

Anecdote 1: When I worked in food service as a kid, I used card terminals that connected directly to a phone line. I remember a couple of times when I entered the ZIP code incorrectly - the card terminal would print out a receipt with an angry message saying the transaction got rejected. So, I know they were using the ZIP code to validate the transaction.

Anecdote 2: With those same card terminals, you could skip the ZIP code and it would run the transaction as usual. But, my manager always told me not to do that. Maybe I never asked him why, or maybe I forgot his answer. Regardless, I don't remember why we he required us to enter the ZIP code, even when it didn't seem to be necessary.

> And it's only a handful of people engaged in this low level crime. Arrest a few. And if they have a dozen prior arrests, like many of them do, keep them in jail for a while. And if they're doing anti-social crimes like punching random women in the street, remove them from society and let them cool off for a few years (it's almost always 18-29 yos).

I think you're underestimating how much crime there is and how many people do it.

The number of heroin users in the UK is about 3x that nation's entire prison population, for example.
One of the things I really admire about Fly is "how human they come across". Fly is a collection of people providing a computing service to other people. As a fellow human, there is a very primitive part of my brain that will always prefer "tech from humans" over "tech".

Given that the very teleology of cloud computing is digital & ephemeral resources, having an actual human face associated with it makes it tangible in a way that is hard to place.

My little brain can briefly understand complex computer systems on a need-to-know basis, with knowledge constantly coming and going based on the demands of the day. I can never fully "understand" my cloud infrastructure. But hey, Kurt's standing there. I like Kurt. I can understand Kurt as he's a human and so am I and he's in the same exact place I am.

Reading the site and spec, it sounds like TextBundle is specifically for exporting and importing your Markdown (or other documents) to and from various apps or other users. In particular, it's needed for software in the Apple ecosystem because there are (apparently) strict rules on how applications can communicate with each other.

Personally, I was hoping TextBundle would be something like a standard format for inserting binary content into Markdown files. (Something better than just base64, anywho.) I could use such a thing for my home-grown wiki.
I think you are right that it is a small number of people committing these low level crimes repeatedly and they are causing huge amounts of unrest and unhappiness.

In the Bay Area I bet arresting ~100 individuals would send the number of car break ins, shoplifting and muggings sharply down. It is crazy that we let a tiny group make literally millions of people live defensively because we are unwilling to arrest them.

If you think being in the landlord is tough, try getting a job.

I mean seriously, being a landlord is just owning something. At best, you do the work of a handyman, and get paid orders of magnitude more for that work. And if you're the average landlord, a handyman does a lot more work and does a better job because they actually have to compete. Being a landlord isn't hard, it's absurdly easy compared to the income it yields.
But again, these quotes aren't specific admissions of price collusion as they are just "getting the best price".

Agreed on your first point, not on your second point. Lots of tech companies did over-hire during the pandemic in a way that had entirely foreseeable results, but everyone simply got caught up in the FOMO.

On the contractor front though, you aren't going to remotely get the best and brightest by going that way, not unless you're actually contracting with industry leaders who are going to be charging way more than FTEs will cost you (and there aren't that many industry leaders). There are so many good tech companies out there offering FTE positions, so a company offering a lower-paid, lower-benefits contracting positions is simply not going to be competitive in the labor marketplace.

I would not recommend using IndexedDB as your primary storage. This is because browsers can sometimes delete the underlying store (there are various reasons for this, but one is that the user is running out of space on their machines) [1]

The point is a lot of what police in our country do is not police work. It's traffic copping and meter maiding.
If anything, what I’ve heard from friends at or adjacent to Meta is that they’re paring back metaverse ambitions and capabilities on their future devices because of the success of the Ray-Bans glasses and the relatively middling sales of the Quest 3.

The Ray-Bans are also a weird anomaly since they’re leaning on the Ray-Bans designer pricing to justify a lot of the cost. If you’re already buying a pair of luxury sunglasses that cost close to $200, what’s another $100 to get the smart version?

The TL;DR is that is hooks the RSA bits to look for an RSA cert with a public key that isn't really an RSA public key; the pubkey material contains a signed & encrypted request from the attacker, signed & encrypted with an ed448 key. If the signature checks out, system() is called, i.e., RCEaaS for the attacker.

It's easy to fixate on things like colorful lights, but consider instead automations based on how much energy is used when. For example, if I have a box fan or a portable AC unit on a smart plug, I can automate it running while I'm gone only if the temperature gets to a excess (for the benefit of pets, fruit on the counter, running computers, etc) or only when electricity is cheaper and/or cleaner.

The most useful IoT devices, I think, aren't purpose devices that have a microcontroller integrated into them... so much as ones whose primary and only purpose bridge digital and physical by allowing you to actuate something remotely, be it the flow of electrify (smart plug), or physically flipping a switch (switchbot type).
