AMD did used to make their own chips, but spun it off as GlobalFoundry many years ago to avoid bankruptcy when times got tough.

GF was on the leading edge for a long time and even had EUV machines but actually decided to send them back to ASML and stop chasing the leading edge due to lack of capital.

Since then, Intel has been the only US based company on the leading edge.
Ya it’s simple economics unfortunately (I’m a hardware engineer). Software can pay more because the cost to produce is lower and so the margins are higher. Hardware has abysmal margins - design, r&d, failure, debugging, schedule push back, component cost, supply chain logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, etc… the list goes on there’s a million things eating into the bottom line.
If the head of the CIA stepped foot in Iran, you bet your butt that they'd be at serious risk of arrest. The only reason this wouldn't be the case is Iran not having Nukes.
Hi,

Karan here. Wanted to share that Chennai's largest developer conference is back this year. It's happening on 5th October 2024. Happening at IITM Research Park. We are expecting 1000+ in attendance (75-80% working professionals)
We are in lookout for really good speakers for talks and panels as part of the conference.
Here is the CFP link. https://lu.ma/zy4joucb
If you are interested in applying or know anyone in your circles, please feel free to share this across and spread the word.

Thanks!

Atoms have no identity. There is no concept of a "copy" of you. You only exist as a fleeting configuration of particles that's already distinct to the you remember from yesterday. If they boot you up, you'll be yourself in the same way in which you'll be yourself tomorrow.

Yeah, it's certainly difficult to balance the game if players have complete flexibility.

From my limited DMing experience, much of the challenges is handling when players do something you haven't anticipated. For most encounters (video games do this too) I think about

1. The stealth approach (why yes there is a secret entrance underneath the castle).
2. The direct approach. Like just kicking down the door and heading in.
3. Negotiation: Is there a way to strike a deal with the bad guy?

Beyond that I fall back on trying to provide a realistic response from the game world, but sometimes the players are creative enough that you have to redo the whole thing on the fly.
I've recently installed (a maintained fork of) Krohnkite[0], a tiling WM for Plasma 6, and I'm happy with it so far after tweaking the key bindings.

Things I miss:

- a scratchpad;

- toggling back and forth between desktops/workspaces with super+number (e.g. super+3 goes to desktop 3, but if I'm already on 3 I want to go back to the previous desktop);

- I also miss a bit the "manual" tiling from i3/sway (where you can choose where the next split will be). Krohnkite is DWM-style with predefined layouts (two columns, spiral, monocle...).

Maybe some of this can be done on Plasma/Krohnkite too (for the third I doubt but it's low priority), I haven't really looked into that.

I read a sci-fi book about this a while back. The protagonist's wife dies of some malady and so he has her cryogenically frozen. He then wants to freeze himself and have himself thawed once her malady could be cured, but realizes no one would ever wake him as-is. So he pivots his career into interviewing pop culture folk from all over the globe and publishes the interviews.

Eventually some rich guy thaws him out so he can learn more about his interviews and he goes on from there trying to cure-and-revive his wife.

IIRC he keeps freezing and thawing himself throughout millennia... can't recall the name of it though! Arg.

Russia was a very different country in 2013. He was deeply convinced he was doing the right thing, so I totally understand why he doesn't want to face US prosecution. It all comes down to the moral quandary if his whistleblowing was ethical or unethical.

I would argue that hiding methods is one way to obscure motives of those building the case against a defendant.

The specific discussion was related to a "wait-and-see" attitude in regards to the motives of the justice system of France (not the motives of the alleged perpetrator). The suggestion was that if this was politically motivated then that motive would be revealed once the discovery process began. However, if the French legal systems wants to hide a political motivation then they can use parallel construction to hide their methods, thus obscuring their motives.

Also, I didn't "describe" anything. I pointed to a Wikipedia article that, in part, declares parallel construction as supported by the Supreme Court of the US. So, at least in US law, it is not at all an abuse of power but rather a totally valid approach that law enforcement can take to build a case against someone. The entire reason I even know the terms is because it showed up so often in the TV show Law & Order.
That's definitely around the corner! You should check out the paper [1] I presented at the Wordplay workshop [2] a few weeks ago.

Yes it's a serious question. And no, "reading" doesn't involve inserting printf statements or taking backtraces. These are different activities. That's called debugging and not reading.

The OP's scenario is being curious how Chromium does something: so it suffices to find the relevant snippet and then copy it elsewhere. The Chromium code is assumed to be already working and does not need debugging.
I don’t have any mind for policy. Law just seems like very confusing hyper-spaghetti code.

But, I really hope the CHIPS act is well-targeted.

We don’t need Intel, the chip designers, anymore. I mean, their chips are fine basically, or maybe they aren’t so great, whatever, they can still sell them, I don’t care.

But we absolutely and desperately need a chip foundry company and if IFS can be that, they deserve a chance (and are probably the best bet we’ve got, unless somebody can convince TSMC to send us some folks, but that seems pretty unlikely).
> Actually, now I remember (it was five years ago or about so - quite a while so my memory is blurry) it did that not once but twice. One time I diagnosed the issue - it was a simple conntrack table overflow, so I had to bump it up. Another time, I have no idea what was wrong - I just lost database connectivity, but I’m certain it wasn’t the application or the database but something in the infra.

Neither of these are k8s issues though. Where were you playing with `conntrack`? On the backplane?

The issues you describe here are issues you created for the most part. They are not issues people run into in production with k8s, I can assure you of that.

> I just lost database connectivity, but I’m certain it wasn’t the application or the database but something in the infra

Most likely something with your cloud provider that you did not understand fully and therefore blamed k8s, the thing you understood the least at the time.
Isn't that by design? Many/most crypto schemes are designed to democratize access to money and thus they disintermediate traditional players (banks, central banks, etc.). Of course governments and tax authorities are one such traditional player, so they will be disintermediated. The government calls it "tax evasion", while the crypto world calls it a feature.

> The Russian state stopped blocking Telegram after the state investments in the platform,

Where are you getting this from? Russia has seen Telegram as an enemy since day 0, and probably had to lift their block because it didn't work at any point, Telegram was available in the country the entire time.

Have these "state investments" been reported on by some reputable organizations?
Yeah I kinda wonder why they don't end to end encrypt telegram, this would take them out of a lot of hot water with the authorities. Because the situation would be the same as with Signal and WhatsApp: What they can't see they can't moderate.

Of course telegram is actually encrypted, but just not end to end. Except the secret chat function which is very limited (only works between 2 participants, only between 2 devices and everyone needs to be online at the same time for the key exchange to work).
> Absolutely nobody's life is measurably improved because of 1 cent one time...I admit my opinion is not based on first hand knowledge...

My opinion, however, is based on first-hand knowledge. I've been the kid saving those pennies, and I've worked with those kids. I understand that in the vast majority of cases, an extra penny does nothing more. That isn't what your original comment above claimed, nor is it what you've claimed here. My counterexample is enough to demonstrate the falsehood. Arguing that there are better ways to distribute these pennies is another matter, and I take that seriously as well.

At least some of the equipment (EUV machines being the big example but even things like high bandwidth oscilloscopes and many other tools we never hear about) are already export restricted (export is still possible but requires approval).

Whether the executive could place a blanket "no export" on all of it without a legal battle is a very different question.

Edit: this is only for whether or not the equipment can leave US soil. Whether it can be sold to a foreign company but stay in the US is a different question (the answer is yes if I had to guess)

Him being charged is as simple and standard as an administrator being shut down and it's owner charged for propagating illegal content. As standard as a Tor drug site being shutdown and it's owner charged. Worse, Durov was involved with CSAM material and did nothing about it. For this, he is immoral and in my opinion, a disgusting human being.

Finally. With 16B the amount of tech support I do for Apple M* products will likely drastically reduce. But unless they also upgrade the storage there'll still be people filling up the internal and then being unable to create the timemachine backups for their octopus of external storage devices.
Generally it's more about the number of chips you need. If you can get to x GB of RAM with the same number of memory chips, just higher capacities, then the power difference is truly quite miniscule. If you have to double up chips to reach the capacity then you start drawing more power (though still on the order of a couple Watts max difference at those sizes). Even then it's not always a constant couple Watts, RAM+memory controllers uses less power when you're not actively writing data.
How one country having "nukes" makes something more or less legal? I don't see the connection here. Crime is a crime no matter what is the nationality and position of a person. If critisizing Communist Party is a crime, it doesn't matter who commits it, everybody should be treated equally.
I don't know the solution either. My stats professor religiously attended and espoused these "teaching stats" conventions. But the end result was him always deferring to how the committee did things. The entire pedagogy including how he answered questions. I really didn't like this solution and it made me hate stats until some reacquaintance with it in discrete math.

But then if you're at the mercy of a professor who does things their own way, you can have cases like you give.

Not really considering the "most pessimistic" predictions have the Atlantic current completely shutting down within the next 100 years (wipes out food supply), tons of countries like bangladesh becoming actually inhospitable from heat/humidity index (billion+ people dead), sea levels rising several meters (massive percentage of humanity lives near a coast), etc. - could go on for a while.

I meant that the European economy is not growing; Germany has had 0 or negative GDP growth for about a year now. People move from the US to Europe for a lot of reasons, not necessarily because of economic opportunities. I think the most common kind of expat I see is someone who works remotely for a US-based company and enjoys the relatively lower cost of living in Europe. This is not an indication of strong European growth, it's an indication of the buying power of the dollar compared to the Euro

Where do these people think tax revenue goes? Into a big black hole? The money goes to pay for the justice system (which protects property rights, prevents people from killing each other), build and maintain infrastructure of all kinds (roads, bridges, mass transit, sewage systems, water treatment facilities), education, etc.

Without the government we'd be much, much worse off.

Well, the FAQ on their site clearly says that only "secret chats" are end-to-end encrypted.
Not sure where the lie is. Although, it indeed may mislead the average user who knows nothing about E2E.

WhatsApp made E2E the default only in 2016, i.e. 7 years after it was founded. Telegram is 11. The whole thing reminds me of http vs. https. Chrome started marking http as "Not Secure" only in 2018. I remember at some point the wisdom was that using http is OK as long as you don't use it to access your bank account etc. So https was like an opt-in ("if you want additional security"). But now it's the default. Telegram resists making E2E the default reportedly for UX reasons (easier data sync on multiple devices).
