IMHO this parameter just tends to shuttle things towards agglomeration, i.e. entities with servers, that can benefit from economics of scale.

I also believe we hit a practical wall on this that's observable by the success, or lack thereof, of game streaming.

In a world where there was a lot of savings to be unlocked, things like Stadia and Nvidia's GeForce Now, and Xbox's service, are notable big wins.

They didn't, which has me firmly believing incremental speed past "everyone in my household can stream video at 4K when desired" is an expected end state. That's tantamount to saying "once people can see whatever they want, at a resolution indistinguishable from reality, without delay, there won't be mass desire for increased Internet speeds", which seems intuitive.

Anything requiring greater streaming bandwidth (ex. VR) is highly sensitive to latency, which may have also affected the game streaming use case.

If latency approaches ~0 ms (which requires colocation with peering providers), I could see this sort of bandwidth opening up AR a bit more by effectively reducing compute requirements in such a small form factor, but that's kinda it.
Everything will be worse, slower, more poorly designed and even well less understood?
But the suffering is what makes it special!

Sarcasm, obviously. I never understood why people prefer diamonds produced by the manual labor (and often suffering) of other humans over diamonds produced by the ingenuity and knowledge of other humans. Science, bitch!
Congrats, you learned what it’s like to live in Japan and be eternally disappointed with pizza. Swap burritos and the same experience mostly fits.

Was one of the more annoying parts of living there. You’d often have a place open, they’d get it “right”, then it either closes or they slowly change the food to fit the Japanese palette over time and the dish becomes a weird mirage.

There are a few exceptions - but that’s few and far between.
To be honest, while I’m not a Tesla fanboy, I don’t think the Cybertruck deserves this hate- as a cyclist I feel worlds safer near a Cybertruck than eg an F150 (though it of course weighs a lot) because of the sloped hood design.

Do I prefer to cycle next to Honda Fits? Of course, but the cybertruck is better than a lot of other truck alternatives

I've found glanceable notifications on my smartwatch to be really useful.

Dismissing or answering calls without taking out my phone (or without my phone at all since the watch has mobile connectivity), quickly seeing text messages (especially 2 factor auth codes).

The remote viewfinder for my camera lets me actually be in family photos. And of course exercise tracking (reminders to get a few thousand more steps today are helpful). AR/VR goggles would be useless for any of those, and make the last two worse.

This says it can generate subtitle files, which is something I've wanted from whisper for a while. But does anyone know of a way to do that with just a cli tool that I can run locally? Like, ideally, just `whisper-make-subtitles ./*.mp4` to loop over every .mp4 in a directory and create matching subtitle files.
Perhaps that is true, but the stress and anxiety from seeing 100K bill is real and has an impact.

Every single interaction with post-Windows 7 configuration / settings leaves me very frustrated. Some settings have new UIs, some don’t, often there are several generations of UIs for the same group of settings. Add to that minor revisions of the UI that happen as part of software updates. Finally, hardware vendors often have their own apps, various “Ninja Dragon Sci-fi Anime Nuclear Power Plant Control Centers” from graphic card vendors and some random sys-tray crap for your webcam and touchpad.

I have no idea why things turned out this way, and I remember how with every other major OS release Microsoft promises a brand new rewrite, and yet if you dig deep enough you probably can find some UI from Win3.1 era.
Maybe "what most companies use AI for" (i.e. glorified data collection) or "what most companies try to pass off as useful AI" (i.e. what we used to call machine learning, but now that ecommerce app can also tell you your latest sales in the form of a poem).

You're going to hate me but... You can "just set" workbench.settings.editor to "json" to always skip the ui!

Back in the real world - having more money lets you put more innocents at risk in pretty much every area of human life. Doesn't matter whether that's more firefighters at risk in fighting a fire in your big house - vs. a burning tent in a homeless encampment is pretty safe for them - or more passengers at risk when your 184' yacht capsizes and sinks in a storm.
Good! I look forward to not being able to adjust a lot of settings and a slower UI.

Their docs are all over the place. I don't understand what their default offerings are. And that makes it hard for me to chose them.
Grumpy, This is not about knowing obscure and useless details, these things were not learnt in isolation but via exposure through lots of hacking/coding and the culture back then.
Two possible paths forward:

Separate streets and roads so that roads don’t have people and people and bicycles cross across roads through skywalks or tunnels.

Wait for the cars to get bigger and taller enough that they become planes and the humans cross under that way.

This is such a plausible explanation I'm going to steal it. I do wonder if this is exactly the difference.
But for the judge to be amused would require the affected person to have the legal intelligence, moral fortitude and general life "legalness" (because maybe you doubt your US legal status even if your life is mostly above board) to pursue one shitty officer's stop.

I've definitely been detained for what seemed to me an acceptable amount of time for a traffic stop, but who's to say the cop can't come up with myriad reasons it had to take that long? Is 35 minutes too long? Is 38 minutes? Who's keeping time, and who's word is taken as truth?
Increased deaths of people walking getting hit by cars says everything about the effectiveness of recent safety regulations. They clearly are not working and we need to take a new approach beyond more surveillance and beeping.

This isn't rocket science. We could just, you know, do what the Netherlands does.
Something a little bit more realistic would be speed limits based on vehicle weight.

In highways, at least in my country, buses and cargo trucks have a different speed limit compared to other vehicles.

It wouldn't be fundamentally different for SUVs to have a lower speed limit compared to sedans when driving in urban areas.
Assuming those are low latency links the line between the edge and the datacenter would be blurred. For instance it might be possible to train an LLM or have a supercomputer for weather models by combining thousands of nodes across the Internet, rather than having them all racked together. Multiple university campuses could easily combine their clusters and so forth.

In addition we could send more raw data to the cloud for processing, rather than having it done locally. For example a cheap VR headset with no GPU could simply send raw position and control data to a cloud server, which would stream back stereo video back to the headset with little compression or latency. Or say a large surveilance system could send the footage from thousands of cameras and sensors directly to the cloud without requiring any initial processing on the edge. You could make devices smaller, lighter, and consume less power at the cost of having all the compute done off site.
Modulo storage costs, we'd probably do a whole lot less compression.
> The answer to all these questions is the same.

Only if that answer is "the world is incredibly complicated and each individual situation is laden with its own history, nuance, and complications." Because otherwise: no, the answer to all those questions is very different, because the world is incredibly complicated and each individual situation is laden with its own history, nuance, and complications. It's reasonable to ask about what those particular nuances are for a given situation without being brushed off like this.
And if there is a third also selling at $4.10? Unless they privately coordinate and collude, its hard for this to work for artificial price increases.
You are downvoted, but from my experience, you are pretty correct. Most people I know will use a streaming site, then sharehosters (good old boerse comes to mind - Megaupload, Rapidshare and Uploaded were the big hosters I remember)

I even know of more people using Usenet then torrents! The amount of work to use torrents safely just isn't worth it for most people.
Far better than requiring registry changes. I’d love a sound-config.json compared to the hodgepodge you have to deal with today.
> And the usability is worse.

This isn't exclusive to Microsoft, but it seems like all the research that went into Windows 95 isn't being repeated for new software. Windows 95, despite its flaws had actual UX research going into designing the project. It doesn't seem like that type of work is being done anymore, Apple also isn't exactly perfect here either, their new control/settings app is equally awful.

There's is an aversion to making software boring, but functional, but that's what most of us need. Microsoft could have frozen their UI in Windows 2000 era and it would have been fine for the majority of uses.

I agree 1000% with this. One thing I don't see addressed in the article you reference, though, is whether any OpenSSH maintainers spotted the addition of a co-maintainer to xz utils and did any due diligence about it.
It's not just pedestrians, driving a small, low car like a Miata is becoming nearly as dangerous as riding a motorcycle. Bigger vehicles simply don't see you. The only thing saving the little cars is that they're also more nimble, so when a giant truck starts moving into your lane - despite the fact that you're currently occupying it - you can maneuver quickly and stay alive. You'd be amazed at how common this experience is.
Yes, but in Wyoming you’re more likely to have a single-vehicle crash, hit another vehicle maybe or hit an animal. In American cities there is greater danger to pedestrians and cyclists.

I finally started running Linux as my main (and only) OS after hating what Microsoft has done with 11. I'm not a Microsoft hater, and while I like Linux I'm not the type of person to play with new distros everyday or heavily customize my system.

They finally did it. It works. I can just install Steam and play Hunt: Showdown and join a discord call. It's all I really wanted.

In fact every game I want to play works out of the box, and there's dozens across various genres. For an example list: Guild Wars 2, Stellaris, Crusader Kings 3, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Baldurs Gate 3, Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite are just some of the games I've been playing recently.

Hunt recently shipped a major update and it broke Proton support. Within a day Valve fixed it and it now works fine.
Okay. I wonder why this isn't already a thing. (Also probably, "extremely low cost" underestimates the ease with which all crossings and many stations on the Peninsula have already been built up to crazy levels.)
Having both 4KB and 16KB simultaneously is either easy or hard depending on which hardware feature they are using for 16KB pages.

If they are using the configurable granule size, then that is a system-wide hardware configuration option. You literally can not map at smaller granularity while that bit is set.

You might be able to design a CPU that allows your idea of partial pages, but there be dragons.

If they are not configuring the granule size, instead opting for software enforcement in conjunction with always using the contiguous hint bit, then it might be possible.

However, I am pretty sure they are talking about hardware granule size, since the contiguous hint is most commonly used to support 16 contiguous entrys (though the CPU designer is technically allowed to do whatever grouping they want) which would be 64KB.
I can execute a playbook without AI at 3am in a few seconds using some orchestration tools. Without any AI.
That's roughly 75 - 80 mph. Which is the average posted speed limit on US interstates.
It's a hard stop because Germans don't really care so much. They are rich enough that they can just pay for a legal streaming platform or to just buy the movies and games.
In actually poor countries where the price is a real stumbling block, people do figure out how to use the required tools. In Eastern Europe, usage of torrent is common knowledge among average people. Everyone has some friend or family member who will explain and install it for them and they are motivated to learn. It's remarkable how much better people become at computer skills once it's about getting access to your favorite TV shows, movies or games.

> 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.

Minor nit but they allow 4k pages. Linux doesn't support 16k and 4k pages at the same time; macOS does but is just very particular about 4k pages being used for scenarios like Rosetta processes or virtual machines e.g. Parallels uses it for Windows-on-ARM, I think. Windows will probably never support non-4k pages I'd guess.

But otherwise, you're totally right. I wish RISC-V had gone with the configurable granule approach like ARM did. Major missed opportunity but maybe a fix will get ratified at some point...
Hey there would you mind opening a github issue with some more details? For example what browser you are using, what the error is etc.

Websites would probably just be huge f-ing videos shouting in your face.
Pretty much this. It was a huge disappointment for me to understand that even if I made a revolutionary discovery and doubled the yield of food crops, people would reproduce and the prices (and availability) of food would not change.
The first thing I'd consider is what changed when we went from 100kbps to 100Mbps.

Now, we share complete video files and music files, whereas before we shared vector-like files such as Flash and MIDI.

What are we doing locally today that could not be sent over our current bandwidth?
Is it something that will affect telepresence, like all the 3D data needed to recreate a realistic environment in real time?
Is it about more accurate control of remote objects, like drones and robotic vehicles?
Maybe it will enable remotely connected computers to be more efficient clusters, taking advantage of unused cycles during off-peak hours.

I think the biggest impact isn't going to be what happens at the faster speeds that happen in best-case scenarios. It's what will happen when mobile devices in areas with poor reception can achieve 1Gbps reliably and consistently.

It mirror current situation with RAM and electron apps. websites would be bloated and unoptimized, there will be GBs of JS/CSS for a single url.

Realistically thinking, I mostly want to better connectivity across the globe(current ISPs speeds are mostly for a given metro or country) and non throttling connections that I fully utilize.
Sounds good. How?
I went from 500mpbs download/upload in my old condo to 50/20mbps download/upload in my house. There are two noticeable effects: it takes slightly longer to download movies the night before I go on flights or long car trips and it takes significantly longer to push updates to large docker containers to the cloud. Everything else is more or less identical for me.

Now, maybe there'd be some novel use case that would come up if everyone (or let's say 80%+) had 2gbps internet, but it's hard to imagine that that's the big constraint for much. Maybe something like virtual/augmented reality could do more heavy processing in the cloud in that case (assuming low enough latency)?
Not really. In my parent comment I tried to make clear that it's not a limitation for me in real-world scenarios I encounter, but still something I feel like being a potential class of problems that could be so easily solved.

When I really needed dedicated integer types of a specific size, e.g. for encoding/decoding some binary data, so far I've been successful using something like Uint8Array

Disagree. There are different use cases for diagrams. The first is communication. My people are poor at drawing diagrams. That means our speech in the medium is limited.

Tesla traded up because there was a risk that Elon would have a hissy fit if the vote failed, and he would single-handedly destroy the company. The fact that the risk of Elon rage-quitting was priced in demonstrates why the vote wasn't an appropriate solution in the first place, the minority shareholders are coerced to "take it or leave it" in a way that corporate law is meant to avoid.
Getting charged is not the same as paying those charges. I'm willing to bet real money that all who, in good faith, went and asked not to pay those bills ended up not paying them (if they didn't ask, that's a separate issue).

I think there would be diminishing returns after a couple dozen Gb/s, but my almost 10 year old computer can easily handle over 10k web requests/second (including database queries that do several joins), or ~40k serving cached pages from nginx. Phoronix benchmarked the 9950X at over 200k requests/second with nginx, so I'd expect you could host something like reddit (sans video) at home with sufficient uplink if you were willing to take the legal risk and you had a new computer or two.

The new menu would actually be quite ok if you could configure what’s on the main menu and what’s on “More”. The old menu has a ton of stuff I never use so in theory it would be nice to push that to a secondary menu. But the UX geniuses have decided it’s better to have random stuff I never use in the shorter first menu and the stuff I really need is on the second. It would be so easy to configure this. What are these geniuses thinking? (I guess they don’t think much….)
