Evidenced based design studies on how some designs better than others at promoting healing in hospital design. Not familiar with school studies but I imagine at some point schools should be calibrated to facilitate learning instead of storm shelters (or in US, securitized against shooters). IIRC old enviromental-psych, "nice" enviroments reduce stress, increase attention etc. Regardless why get used to bland? It's good to just be in a nice built enviroment.

For DMA, DMA endpoint buffers will generally be unencrypted and live in the "host domain," outside of the secure enclave running trusted code. This has been used to construct exploits against AMD's Secure Virtualization (which relies on memory encryption), for example: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/sec19-li-mengyuan_0.pdf .

There are some emerging technologies like SEV-TIO and PCI-IDE which attempt to extend the trust chain down into PCIe devices, allowing trusted devices to form a relationship with trusted code in a secure execution environment: https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/developer/s...

Anyway, the best protection here is to terminate protocol or application-level encryption (TLS or whatever sits on top of your protocol) inside of the secure environment, so that decryption only occurs through encrypted memory. It's slower, but this way an attacker sitting as a RAM snoop could only see encrypted network traffic hit the DMA buffers, which wouldn't help them much.

Im not arguing against that at all. I was making a point about the magnitude of that impact.

People tend to over-estimate the impact of both smoking and obesity.
Yeah, nope. If I get like that, I'm never coming back. Probably have to bury me in that pose.

Is this really just a matter of stretching? I read the article and he sums it down to he needs to stretch every day (he said himself thst his diet doesn't matter too much) He was also in the circus since 4, but this doesn't seems like something I could do in a lifetime of practice.
almost every single repeater I know of uses this method for remote control. I even remember listening to someone sending long strings of high speed DTMF, presumably to try and brute force control of the repeater. One of the managers said they weren't successful

No. People are just less afraid to speak openly then a few years ago when social media was locked down by the left.

I wanted to keep it simple and just ship.
So at the moment, I am adding data through an SQL client.
But eventually, I am planning on creating a better admin panel.
Now priority is to create a free and high production-quality Go/Golang course.
You can watch the current demo video to see what quality I am trying to ship.
Physical access opens up many possibilities to access the data, definitely not only the cold boot attack you're probably thinking of
Any of these words meaning "flame" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/p... + "-gerent" so "flame-making" makes sense in context. Could also be "palma" which is Polish for "stain" (a funny sentence when you consider dropping the uppercase letter). Rare to mix Slavic words with a Latin suffix like that, but just as valid as Greek-Latin words like television, homosexual, and hypoadrenalism.
6G tests reach a blisteringly quick 938 GB/s, 5000X faster than 5G
But this is a web app, so the encryption happens in a blob of JavaScript that you can update at any time. Users still need to trust you as much as they would if the data was encrypted server-side. You could maybe claim "application-level" "rock solid" encryption if your app was entirely implemented within the extension, so users could at least pick one version of it to trust, but it doesn't look like that's what you did?
The benefit (or potential gain) is that some people will just buy the book from the Kindle store to avoid the pain. I've seen that happen first-hand to my wife.

Also by emailing books or loading through their servers, they can still track and get that sweet sweet data/metadata that Amazon thrives on. When you sideload, you don't even have to connect it to the internet, which makes analytics more challenging.
Fantastic. Maybe the only tech company fighting the good fight.
The people at your credit union know nothing about car reliability. There have been studies about EV reliability and it is much higher than any ICE vehicles. Battery degradation is averaging 1-1.5% per year, which is basically nothing. Stop spreading misinformation.

Also "Jap" is considered a slur.
My point was originally that history does indeed have examples of apartheid states dissolving, contradicting your prediction that Israel wouldn’t dissolve. My point was simply to prove you wrong by citing historic examples.

My point was never to compare Israel to Rwanda (which I never did) but rather, since you weren’t convinced by the original statement, to further my case by citing other genocidal rampages which did in fact lead directly to the downfall of the perpetrating state. Your point about Syria might be on par with that as it is hardly a functioning state, although I would argue that their atrocities against Palestinian refugees don’t come anywhere close to the one currently ongoing by Israel, nor other cases of post WW2 genocides.

It's because they're built by tax dollars and the last thing you want to do is be seen to be wasting tax dollars on frivolous things. Nice private schools look great because the clientele expects that and pays for that aesthetic. Also consider that often the highest tax payers and most influential people in a community won't send their kids to the local school so have no interest in having higher taxes fund a nice building. I'm not saying that's good or bad, just that it is.

> Before the prison/factory campus came into existence, we did have beautiful schools. And they're still standing.

The nice ones are. There are likely many old school buildings that were cheaply constructed and didn't stand the test of time.

The nice old school building in my town had to have hundreds of millions of dollars put into it because it didn't have AC, a staircase collapsed, and about 100 other serious issues that needed addressing to modernize it. Our community voted YES to funding it through a raise in property taxes but our community is already affluent and the town did a good job specifying exactly what the money would be spent on.

So it costs money and often times people don't see the value in that.
growing up we loved Carrom, a 4p game of similar style probably.
I suspect this is a result of acquisitions.
They buy some startup, bring them all under Meta's HR umbrella with all the rules and perks that comes with. Since these recently acquired guys are running out of random offices in random places they just give them a stipend rather than force them to all relocate to a campus with dining. Some people are happy, some are unhappy, some don't like their new overlords and don't feel bad abusing the system. That's just how it goes with these sorts of things.

The $400k employee was probably a higher up (or key SME Meta felt they needed to put in golden handcuffs) at one of these acquired companies and was probably already on his or her way out or they were in a position of authority and encouraging/condoning abusing the system.

You don't fire someone like that over ~$100/day unless there's more to the story.
1.04x faster means 4% faster. It's the difference represented as a ratio of the new and original value. 226 / 217 = 1.04

2x would be twice as fast. For example, I used to drink 4 cups of coffee a day, now I drink 8 cups. You could say I 8 / 4 = 2x(ed) my coffee intake.

A "10x" developer is one who develops at 10 times the pace of a single normal developer.
Looks fun! Any recommendations on buying a board to start with for less than $100 or so? Might just get a cheapo one on amazon to try out.
Pretty sure he was the person who butchered Google's chat strategy so...
No it isn't?

I recovered data of mine from ram many times
That’s supposed to be a “cheap microwave?” Here in the U.S., the aisles are full of microwaves (with touch-sensitive buttons only) at around $30-$70. Once you get above $100 you do sometimes start seeing some with knobs of some sort.
so basically performance doesn't really go up or down, it's the same

that's good news since 3.13 is merely planting the seeds for further improvements, can't wait for 3.14 and 3.15
Have you tried Flickwars? I don't own it, but played a demo version at a board game convention maybe five years back. I still keep wanting to pull the trigger on buying it but I've been trying to reel in my boardgame-purchasing problem a bit.

Most flicking/dexterity games are pretty abstract: lightly themed, if they're themed at all. And a lot of the ones that are themed, somehow don't get it "right". Flickwars is pretty cool in that it's got a light space battle theme with asymmetric team powers. It also has a neoprene board which, while not being as satisfying as polished wood, makes a surprisingly satisfying flicking surface. There's a modular setup to the game, where players place obstacles on or (because of the neoprene surface) UNDER the board. This meshes nicely with the space theme as you can consider these obstacles as gravitational anomalies. All-in-all, it's a pretty lightweight game, but it's a fun diversion from heavier board games.
Not going to happen for this developer.
Piketty waves his hands at a major open question on any wealth tax proposal: it’s one thing to seize ‘hard’ assets like say gold. Equity assets are very different animals.

The wealth increases he refers to here are largely calculated by marking public market stock prices to a recent trading price. That wealth is not real: it is in potentia and predicated at least in part on the markets beliefs about who will be selling and how much. Seizing or accepting tax payments by forcing a sale of a large amount of stock is going to generate huge losses as stock prices adjust : I don’t understand how you can see this as anything but at best wealth transfer. The wealth being transferred is out of billionaire pockets, and also out of every single shareholders pockets , including pension funds, retirees: ..

“Meh” he says, just sell it to existing employees. At what price? It’s just extremely lazy thinking from a very intelligent man.
Like Amazon, continuing to work for Automattic is a choice.
Hi Peter, thanks for doing this.

One question I have is regarding skilled immigration from India and China specifically. Currently, people have to wait decades through no fault of their own. Big Tech companies, Chamber of Commerce, and many Republicans also support this.

However, a Democratic Senator, Dick Durbin has disingenuously blocked meaningful progress and reforms over and over and over again. He blocked the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019 which had passed House with 365 votes and was sponsored by current Vice President Kamala Harris. He added on a poison pill that would not have gotten support knowing fully well that the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act would have passed.

Similarly, Rep. Zoe Lofgren wrote to Speaker Pelosi expressing great dismay that her legislation (different bill, 2 years ago) which would have provided reforms was pulled from the floor and that it was important to force a vote.

It is certainly known that Republicans have blocked immigration reform (Grassley on CHIPs, etc) but Democrats have had multiple opportunities to remove the per-country visa cap and repeatedly refuse to do so in varying dishonest manners.

Why is Democratic leadership so against skilled immigrants coming from India and China? The closest we have come so far was under a Republican administration. Many populist Republicans support these reforms so it is perplexing to me that a party so committed to removing barriers that enforce systemic discrimination continue to let things play out as they are.

I wonder if I should have an LLM to sum it up...
If you reload the page it serves up different images.

What a time to be alive.
For liability reasons, HR needs a reason to fire someone to avoid potential wrongful termination lawsuit. The meal vouchers just sound like it was an excuse they needed to let some people go. But it makes a good story for the interwebs.
Last year, I was contacted out of the blue by an Automattic recruiter who encouraged me to apply for an engineering position there. I was intrigued for a few minutes because I recognized the company and knew they did some really terrific open source work once upon a time.

But then I regained my senses... I don't have any kind of reputation or extensive proof of accomplishments or character outside of my resume and real-life social circle. Any company that would cold-contact someone like me is 100% dealing with either abnormally low offer acceptance or abnormally high employee turnover, or both. I also remember reading (on Reddit and such) from previous employees that the CEO was best described as "mercurial."

There were enough bright waving red flags that I did not bother to respond.
Doesn't salary at least set a floor on what a company thinks that employee is going to add in value? They wouldn't spend dollars on salary to get dimes of extra revenue.

I would also argue that prioritizing the highest paid jobs makes displacement of US workers less likely. It would raise the bar for everyone.

> What didn’t work

> Content. Brace for an obvious statement: it is one thing to imagine a grand, Daggerfall-scale game in your head, and a completely different thing to actually start building the pieces that make it up.

This is what always kills it for me. It's not so much that there aren't good off-the-shelf content packs, its that unique gameplay ideas with unique visualizations don't have ready made assets. Even for a simple game like pong, if you want to do something graphically unique with it (make the paddle shake, charge up, or have a power bar embedded in it that fills up whatever), then you better be prepared to become an artist or find someone who will be your game's artist.

And also like the article points out, the latter is fine if you're looking to commercialize it, but it doesn't seem like there are many artists offering their skills for free games made casually in a developer's spare time. It seems there's a critical threshold of game development "seriousness" that needs to be committed to by all involved to make it worth the time and effort of others.
If your goal is time bound (say a few years), the asylum path may work. It will eventually run out though when you get your hearing in court. Asylum applications are overwhelmingly rejected. The legal path, at least theoretically, has a higher probability* of leading to permanent residence.

This doesn't strike me as much of a problem as it appears for you. What are the biggest issues you foresee?

I'm an avid podcast listener, but I already ignore 99.9% of podcasts out there. I'm not concerned that this is going to become 99.99%.

If these AI generated podcasts are all bad, I will just continue to ignore them. If some turn out to be good, it seems like a win to me.

If you're worried about an existential "what happens to the world if all media is machine generated", I guess I'm willing to hop on the ride and see what we find out.
It was certainly fun. Please do continue, the concept is fantastic.
Are you suggesting that Scale can take cuDNN kernels and run them at anything resembling peak performance on AMD GPUs?

Because functional compatibility is hardly useful if the performance is not up to par, and cuDNN will run specific kernels that are particularly tuned to not only a specific model of GPU, but also to the specific inputs that the user is submitting. NVidia is doing a ton of work behind the scenes to both develop high-performance kernels for their exact architecture, but also to know which ones are best for a particular application.

This is probably the main reason why I was hesitant to join AMD a few years ago and to this day it seems like it was a good decision.
Okay but this is a sport, with objective winners. How do you win at being a pop star?
The funny thing is that pooling the credit is probably the best possible ROI for meta because if they're pooling the benefit they're probably using it together which builds morale, cohesion and friendship and even if they aren't and it's a rotation as to who gets the benefit the interdependence of trading favors has the same effect just less so.

I agree that the other stuff is arguably abuse and defeats the point of getting the employees to come to the office and eat in the office.
The only possible caveat is that you might need some sort of keep alive [1] to detect if the connection has severed, because an idle channel (like with tcp) can mean an idle wire.

Matt Levine has talked about how this is how PE firms work too. No Harvard MBA wants to work for a midsize manufacturing firm, but they’d kill to work for a PE firm that going to make them work for their PortCo that’s a midsize manufacturer (but they get to say they work for Apollo)
It really does surprise me too.

Myself and my team are all technical sales folks with engineering backgrounds, and we naturally optimize for this sort of thing — all of us have some form of “advanced” setup that’s been informed by each other’s investment.

On the other side, NONE of our account reps have anything remotely close. I can think of one or two times in the past few years when someone asked me about what tech I use. My company even has a home office budget benefit meant for exactly this sort of thing!
Well you have made it instantly clear you have no idea what you're talking about

Not even Cloudflares own blog uses those, https://blog.cloudflare.com/rss/, or am I getting a wrong content-type shown in my dev tools? For me it is `application/xml`. So even if `application/rss+xml` were the correct type by an official spec, it's not something to rely on if it's not used commonly.

Depending on how large your project becomes, some people may just use a brokerage service to localize the Merchant on Record (MoR) like withreach.com for online retailers. However, only US domestic corporations can mitigate liability on sold goods/services etc. Keep aware of the IRS grace thresholds on sales, as even if you owe $0 in federal and state taxes... it can still become a $8k fine for forgetting to file a return in the US.

Best of luck, =3

Automattic is a VC funded startup that's taken close to a billion dollars in funding, over the years.

I wonder how much influence the VCs had in these decisions or if any of these decisions will cause them to step in and make changes.
> While this is theoretically true, the reality is that thousands (tens of thousands?) of people do it every year successfully.

You are correct, but if you do it on a tourist visa, you can expect to wait well over a year for employment authorization, which is very difficult on a relationship.

Not to mention you always risk getting rejected (particularly if you posted your intention online) and then being essentially banned from entering the US.

For two grown adults with careers, it makes no sense to risk it, just take one of many legal routes (K-1, work visa, getting married outside of the US and then applying for a greencard, etc).
Another confirmation. I see it in my /r/all list fairly frequently. I am neither subscribed, a reader of said posts, or a believer in any of that (or at least, i avoid belief until it feels there is reasonable supporting evidence).

Though i don't recognize all of the terminology of OP, so perhaps that disqualifies my observation.
> The only possible caveat is that you might need some sort of keep alive [1] to detect if the connection has severed

You need this in the real world, but not with the hypothetical "infinite bandwidth perfect connection" of the problem statement. Also you'd need a keepalive/heartbeat with the author's original proposal if we want to allow real-world exigencies to start creeping in (suppose the server is very busy serving other requests and doesn't get to yours for a while), so it's not specific to the alternative I proposed.

I run a coffee meetup in Buffalo, NY. Around graduation season we get a lot of international students who come and are looking for jobs but are worried about visa issues.

No, the batching is done so that the transactions form a data structure that's amenable to optimistic verification or succinct zero knowledge proofs. All transactions can be fully verified onchain, every block, and Ethereum rollup transaction flows would see generate massive scalability boost ups.

The incredible thing about the rollup scaling roadmap is that transactions across a rollup can be composable with each other while using different shards.

This means Ethereum can massively scale with no compromises on decentralization or composability.
Without any relative scale, can you even tell the difference between a capybara and a guinea pig?
Of course but depending on how this was or wasn't messaged it probably doesn't fall into that category. At the very least using the word "blatant" is in error.
It doesn't mean that discussing it must result in a cancellation of a person though.
