At 0-1%, basically anything.

Your wifi and home network probably are closer to 1% than 0%.

at 1-10%, you're probably on some kind of shared connection (CMTS or GPON with TDMA) and your provider has an overloaded network design (and you're at the end of the upgrade/split queue).

at anything above 10% you're in the realm of weird broken stuff. Congestion on the internet between major providers is a thing but is far less common than it was a decade ago, it does still happen though. Major providers who have NECMP or NLAG links inside their backbones or between providers where one of the links breaks in a way which doesn't remove it from the ECMP/LAG and suddenly you drop 1/N of the traffic (where N might be 2 == 50% loss). More common was finding LAG/ECMP where 1/N of the links was oversubscribed but the others were fine due to unequal traffic distribution.

> noisy RF, industrial

Pretty uncommon in my experience as most of these environments are not as cost optimized and know already that they will be in weird RF/electrical environments so they just use wired ethernet (and even shielded cable for really janky situations).

While there are strategies to reduce congestion on backbone links, they are not commonly implemented and even less commonly implemented well and sometimes implemented intentionally poorly.

Note that for the purposes of this paper a “problem” just means a formally decidable problem or a formal language, and the proof is that by creatively arranging transformers you can make individual transformer runs behave like individual Boolean circuits. However, this is a long way from any practical application of transformers: for one thing, most problems we care about are not stated as formal languages, and we already have an exceptionally more efficient way to implement Boolean circuits.
A big problem with TCP's loss avoidance is that it assumes the cause of loss is congestion, so if you use it on a network with random packet loss it can just get slower and slower and slower until it effectively stops working entirely.
If stainless steel is so great why don't other automakers experiment with it?

Well, we already know why: difficult machining, can't be made into complex molded shapes, can't be painted, can't be color matched, sucks up fingerprints like no tomorrow, difficult for body shops/repairs, reduced pedestrian safety...

And what are the benefits? What does the customer get out of it?

I don't know any group of automotive engineers who would choose Stainless Steel given an "unlimited budget/creativity" type of project. You don't see it in million dollar exotic cars or anything like that. The fact of the matter is that Elon Musk is stuck in the 1980s and wanted his own DeLorean truck.

The one thing I’ve seen are where companies have tax incentives tied to butts in seats. Usually like 0 property tax, with the government assumption that they’ll make it up in sales tax (lunch, gas, etc.) and taxes from employees that move to the town.

But honestly, I think a lot of companies are just doing this instead of layoffs or in addition to small “don’t raise eyebrows” layoffs. Raise the pain to get attrition.
Should we be giving 25% raises to grocery store and retail workers who don’t have the option of WFH? Lots of people don’t work in an office and still have to commute, shouldn’t they get compensation if the office workers get this benefit?

> Then they actually wrote a PS2 emulator anyway, which is part of the firmware, but only allowed to be used with PS2 Classics and not as BC.

To be fair, IMO that was only 80-90% of a money grab; "you can now run old physical PS2 games, but only these 30% of our catalog" being a weird selling point was probably also a consideration.

> Sony had already written POPS for PS1 downloads on PS2 BBN[0] and PSP's PS1 Classics, so they knew how to emulate a PS1.

POPS on the PSP runs large parts of the code directly on the R4000 without translation/interpretation, right? I'd call this one closer to what they did for PS1 games on the (early/non-Deckard) PS2s.

Imo, Semi-generalizable ML models (colloquially "LLMs") have the potential of having a similar impact depending on the problem space.

There's a lot of interesting work being done in actually leveraging these kinds of foundational models to automate or at least minimize additional rework or glue needed (not talking about code generation per say, but stuff like simplified information retrival, simplified auto-reasoning, etc)

It's still the equivalent of the mid-2000s rn for foundational models and their applications, but it actually looks promising (aside from the BS hype cashing in on the AI hype train)

not sure what ur asking then, it uses the standard UDP implementation and the benchmarks have to do with transferring the entirety of the sample data not by individual packet loss but rather receiving the whole context of the message. There is no retransmission. Its all or nothing...

Technology goes in waves, when a large breakthrough in technology then opens up an opportunity for a lot of small applications of that technology. I wrote some thoughts on Web 2.0 / SaaS startup wave: https://mikebz.com/tech-startups-and-railroad-tracks-d1d5948...

The Mobile wave and SaaS wave are gone, it's possible that AI will open up a lot of small applications or AI Bot economy, but we will see.

The low capitalization means that you are mostly writing gluecode and winning on UX, not really doing breakthrough technology innovation that has no revenue for 5-7 years.
If a "problem we care about" is not stated as a formal language, does it mean it does not exist in the hierarchy of formal languages? Or is it just as yet unclassified?
Gets wise that this is blatant malicious compliance, and use this to inform potential enforcement action and/or revisions to the regulation.

It could very well become that after enough of this, DMA 2.0 would have a provision stipulating that any feature withheld in the EU would need to have a valid technical justification that passes review by a panel of independent experts.

Most people have or should have already moved to 14. Some people can't, for example if they have binary kernel modules; we provide stable kernel interfaces within a major version but not between versions.

From my perspective though, the most useful thing about doing legacy branch releases is that it gives us a chance to practice the process. Mike Karels was supposed to be the release engineer for 13.4 -- his first release since BSD 2.x -- before he died on the way home from BSDCan, that is.

This is an old whine. Jaron Lanier wrote along similar lines at least a decade ago. Part of it is nostalgia for the days when being a Musician in a Band was a Big Deal. That ended around the time Myspace got their millionth band.

A few days ago, I attended a candidate forum (for upcoming elections to statewide office) that was hosted by a Chamber of Commerce affiliated business group that bragged about how they successfully stopped various public transportation projects. The reality is many Americans have been informed that public transportation is incompatible with a growth oriented economy so they naturally vote against it (or fund groups that file lawsuits and other tactics to slow down the development of public transport infrastructure).

When you're a customer big enough to be a press release and logo, and the seller is in need, you can be pretty aggressive with terms.

It'll be curious how the financials on this look. I assume with Intel breaking foundry out into a subsidiary, they'll also break out revenue, and if this is their marque first big customers, it should show up in the numbers.

But I think it’s worth thinking about what makes a piece of music classic? Why will it stand the test of time where others don’t.

You’re right they didn’t want to target weird things like the PS3 anymore, that was a huge pain.

But you have to remember the other side: there were no other options than x86.

ARM wasn’t powerful enough for one of the high-end consoles at the time. Trying to have such a chip designed would be a lot more expensive than just choosing a premade design and tweaking at a little. It worked for Nintendo but they had different goals. I’m not sure ARM could’ve been used it for the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.

The previous supplier, IBM PowerPC, had basically given up. Apple switched off them for the same reason. It wasn’t getting much faster and IBM only really seemed interested in server chips. I think it’s reasonable to assume they wouldn’t have tried very hard to win a chance to make a faster console chip.

If you don’t want to design your own, that’s all the major players. x86-64 is all that’s left.

Which is not to say that was a bad option. Developers are extremely familiar with it, there’s a metric ton of tools available, it makes game porting to and from PCs easier, it was the highest performance option, and there are two big suppliers that you can play against each other. So even if you went with Intel and something happened you could switch to AMD.

When IBM decided they didn’t care about the market, you just had to leave the PowerPC.

Why AMD over Intel? They were probably hungrier since they were in second place. They had a competitive GPU business, which Intel didn’t. Single supplier + they could do everything on one chip. And if AMD makes both parts they can help optimize the hell out of it.

Microsoft got screwed by nVidia on the XBox. I don’t think they’d want to do that again. Sony would absolutely know that happened and be wary.

Honestly it’s not clear to me that nVidia cared too much. But maybe I’m just reading it wrong. Nintendo went with them because they had and all in one system on a chip they were willing to dump for cheap that thanks to its mobile heritage developers were already familiar with.

Also since AMD was the little guy (compared to Intel) they could really use the sales and the revenue. It would be a bigger percentage of their total income than Intel, meaning it was more important to win that contract.

So in the end I think it makes a lot of sense that PlayStation and Xbox ended up in AMD land.
Surveillance has expanded and seems set to continue, regardless of what one may or may not prefer.

It's not, though. I'm not buying a 30 year old tomato, like I would a 30 year old game. I'm going to keep buying a tomato every week to make my BLT, enabling the grocery store to continually give money to the farmer for more tomatoes. I'm not going to be continually rebuy the same old game on a regular basis. Me buying tomatoes encourages the farmer to grow tomatoes next year, the same is not true for retro games.

One of these is a continual economic...pipeline of the tomatoes being exchanged for money, and being consumed. The other is speculation and collection. Please don't get hung up on the terminology, I'm not an economist.

> which, for whatever reason, do a much better job of not just promoting stuff that will be profitable

it's simply the law of large numbers. The early Switch was a goldmine for indies. If you could get a game on in the first 12-18 months, you were nearly guaranteed decent sales. That mine ended about 2 years in, though. Still a big market, but you will probably be buried more often.

Now Go to Steam. Decent storefront based on recommendations, but due to user tagging and the sheer volume of releases you're bound to get some random $2 hentai game everynow and then, no matter how fine tuned your filters on. This is partially because again, steam leaves it to the community to tag, but those weid recommendations are a peek into the surface of how much slop there truly is on Steam. And we don't even talk about how 99% of indies fare on Steam.

Google/Apple's stores are just Steam x 1000. There's millions of apps released per year, nearly impossible to curate manually. And due to the f2p nature, it'd take a lot longer to build a proper recommendation engine. because games optimized towards playtime, not getting $5 out of you ASAP.

But on top of all that: mobile games aren't on that power curve where they peak sales for the firs month then trickle along. Roblox was a highest earner for years and probably makes more revenue over time, not less. So the top selling board doesn't change. And google/apple have negative incentive to change that, because they will keep selling and they will get their cut. Who cares about new titles when the old ones are making hundreds of millions years later?

>And so I think the market generally treats mobile games like garbage. Which they by-and-large seem to be.

well, money talks, and Whales can disproportionately talk louder than some complaints online about mobile games. That's all that matters to the company. The best compromise would seem to be to support those games offering console experiences (more and more these days also on console/PC as well) but using a f2p monetization system if that's desirable. it won't change the candy crushes and robloxes, but it does show you can still grab console-oriented players on mobile.
But were there fast/powerful enough ARM chips to be competitive with what ended up in the PS4/XBox One?

They certainly exist today. But could Sony and Microsoft have chosen them or would they have had to have them developed?
Most games were not backwards compatible between Xbox and Xbox 360. They had to do work to make game work and prioritized the most popular games, most notably Halo. With that said, there were certain features that did not work properly. There was a Halo 2 map they took out of the online pool because it used a heavy fog effect that would not render on 360.

From 360 to Xbox One there was a similar situation where they would patch individual games to work, but because it was at least partially emulated, publishers had to sign off on allowing their game to be backwards compatible.
