The cost of moving 4 KB is miniscule. Assume a anemic basic desktop with a 2 GHz clock and 2 instructions per clock. You would be able to issue 4 billion 8-byte stores per second resulting 32 GB/s or 32 bytes per nanosecond. Memory bandwidth is going to be on the order of 40-60 GB/s for a basic desktop, so you will not run into memory bandwidth bottlenecks with the aforementioned instruction sequence. So, 4 KB of extra stores is a grand total of 128 additional nanoseconds.

In comparison, the average context switch time of Linux is already on the order of ~1,000 nanoseconds [1]. We can also see additional confirmation of the store overhead I computed as that page measures ~3 us for a 64 KB memcpy (load + store) which would be ~187 nanoseconds for 4 KB (load + store) where as the context saving operation is a 2 KB register -> store and a 2 KB load -> register.

So, your system call overhead only increases by 10 percentage points. Assuming you have a reasonably designed system that does not kill itself with system call overhead, spending the majority of the time actually handling the service request, then it constitutes a miniscule performance cost. For example, if you spend 90% of the time executing the service code, with only 10% in the actual overhead, then you only incur a 1% performance hit.

I worked for an authority that issued digital certificates for SSL and digital signatures. It's not only about providing encryption but also about trust, when a top level entity issues a SSL certificate, a number of identity validations are carried out, adding an extra layer or confidence on that website.

This may seem inconsequential for static websites without PII, however most browsers consider it important as it reduces the risk for all parties involved when encrypted communication is used and the content providers has taken basic steps for Identity verification.

There are logic flaws with this approach to security imo, but it's the most commonly used technique at the moment.

> Interpol hardly does anything by comparison and have much less doggedness (it was the US who found Bin Laden for example). It typically helps the US, not actually initiates the investigation. At best its like a sidekick.

That's a strange take on a strange article, because the articles is mistaken in that Interpol "tried to combat scammers" - it can't, Interpol is an organization to coordinate cooperation between national law enforcement agencies. They are essentially a large clearing house where national LEAs exchange information and can use databases. Interpol has no agents or investigators.

Which makes your take strange too, because you sound very confident that it's "at best" a sidekick, because it doesn't do as much as the FBI and IRS. But knowing what Interpol is and what it does (or rather: what it doesn't), it's pretty clear that you don't know what you're talking about.

The article has found its target, your patriotism was tingled and you accepted its premises but felt it necessary to proclaim that the US does much more than the organization that doesn't do that type of work at all.

Nobody is thinking about qualia. That's only how I framed it. They just know the machine will never replace them. They're a person, doing person things, and it's a machine.

So every time it proves it can, they move the goalposts and invent a truer Scotsman who can never be replaced by a machine. Because they know it can't do person things. It's a machine.

> US non-interventionism was the norm for the longest time.

US practised non-interventionism when wasn't the dominant world power. It's existed for 229 years, only in the 75 years after 2 world wars dethroned Britain did it become dominant. Since then its pretty much continuously projected it's power using miliary means across the world.

Look around, and you'll notice most countries are non-interventionist. That includes countries that were once attempted to colonise the world - like Britain, France and Spain. I guess once it was clear they could not take on the USA single handedly, they stopped spending on their military. Looked at as an asset that generates a return, what use is it if you have to ask the USA for permission to use it?

The corollary is if the USA loses it's "dominant military power status" military spending will probably drop back to the levels of other countries. It's held the position for 75 years, but if current trends continue it won't make 80 years.

I guess the obvious candidate for taking on the role of "dominate power" is China. Given they way they've been building up their military, it's almost like they are preparing for it. Their major competitor for the position will be India.

The key difference is https certificates often require signing authority integrity, and leak-free SSL libraries.

Traditionally both facets of the 3rd party trust model have had CVE over the years. SSL protocol misconfiguration is also very common, and connections can be downgraded by adversaries into a vulnerable version of the protocol.

It could be argued ssh is a weaker Trust on first use model, but in most cases the keys will rarely change for the short service life of the server instance... and the server may be setup from a local physical terminal, and keys communicated out-of-band to remote users.

At some point one has to admit if someone really wants in they will physically pull the drive in the data center. However, people using web vulnerability scanners on your systems are less of a nuisance.

I don't think SharedStarveExclusive is what GP is talking about? From the description, it sounds like currently, a shared acquire immediately after an exclusive release will get silently 'upgraded' to an exclusive acquire in some cases (and remain exclusive until released), which can easily cause issues. And it can't even be detected or worked around, since the SRWLock functions don't return any information about the status of the lock.

It looks like the Rust standard library migrated away from SRWLOCK on account of this issue [0].

For a blog post of 1,200 words the bitter lesson has done more damage to AI research and funding than blowing up a nuclear bomb at neurips would.

Every time I try to write a reasonable blog post about why it's wrong it blows up to tens of thousands of words and no one can be bothered to read it, let alone the supporting citations.

In the spirit of low effort anec-data pulled from memory:

The raw compute needed to brute force any problem can only be known after the problem is solved. There is no sane upper limit to how much computation, memory and data any given task will take and humans are terrible at estimating how hard tasks actually are. We are after all only 60 years late for the undergraduate summer project that would solve computer vision.

Today VLMs are the best brute force approach to solving computer vision we have, and they look like they will take a PB of state to solve and the compute needed to train them will be available some time around 2040.

What do we do with the problems that are too hard to solve with the limited compute that we have? Lie down for 80 years and wait for compute to catch up? Or solve a smaller problem using specialized tricks that don't require a $10B super computer to build?

The bitter lesson is nothing of the sort, there is plenty of space for thinking hard, and there always will be.

Even considering the capacity factor solar and wind still grows by 60x compared to nuclear. And storage is no longer an „unsolved problem“. You could manage the current grid with current chemical battery technology, levelized cost of electricity of that solution is cheaper than nuclear. And foreseeable technical advances will improve that while no comparable development is on the horizon for nuclear.

The real tricky thing will be stuff like chemical processes that depend on hydrocarbons, but nuclear is no help for that.

Nuclear didn’t deliver on an every revolution in the 50s and it won’t today. It’s nice for submarines and to have an industrial base to build bombs but it inherently can’t solve the world’s energy demands.

I think we're agreeing -- you're using a shorter exposure that captures the dark part of the moon, but isn't long enough to capture stars.

If you want to capture stars, it needs to be longer. Looking it up says that 20 seconds is roughly the minimum. Which is also around what would overexpose the entire moon in your example. So that's what I'm saying -- the dark side of the earth doesn't seem like it could be overexposed because we can't see any stars.

Respectfully, this is being the exact opposite of smart. Pay attention to the fact that by all accounts the Tim role is actually a force multiplier and output booster for the team. Pay also attention to the fact that you're arguing that Tim should be fired as should the whole team just because... Your Jira metrics are off? This is not what I would call being smart, by far.
I'm no health expert, only an expert practitioner of my hands. Mostly I keep changing keyboards and positions. That small chorded keyset can be set to more natural positions and moved at will to wherever you can reach. You ostensibly don't need to even look at it.

A device like this Tap thing, which is attached to your fingers or wrist, allows even more freedom.

As for mouse, well, I guess a trackball is easier to move about, stick to chair arm or something. Touchpad might work also, but you require more estate for precision and gestures.

Why are there photos on a resume site, and featured so prominently? It's not Tinder.

US HR used to throw away any photos that people attached to resumes. (Usually someone attaching a photo was a recent immigrant, who didn't know the US convention.)

I've even heard rumors that some companies/screeners had a policy of throwing away resumes that included photos or other gratuitous information that could be the basis for illegal/problematic discrimination.

"Because LinkedIn does it" isn't a good argument, because LinkedIn is pretty awful, and the only things going for it are: (1) the majority of people are on it, and (2) recruiters sometimes search/spam there.

Some social media sites do photos because they pander to the worst. Or, in the case of one prominent social media site, infamously because the original inspiration was to catalog the best-looking women at their college.

Unless you're a headshots site/app for hiring models/actors, best to go with content-of-their-character, and all that.

Yeah, when I was younger, I had a kickball mailing list running on my mail server early 2000s. It only had kickball traffic, anytime someone wanted to play a game they would post, their phone number and time and location of a game and people would just show up.

Would organize larger games with more notice. Anyone who watched us for more than 15 seconds would be forced to play. If they had fun, we made them sign up.

It's not a problem. You can use SSH today (and since years already now) with Yubikey and the likes. I'm using Git over SSH with Yubikeys and it works.

> It is absurd

It's not if we base it on evidence that we have. It's silly to assume otherwise until any evidence at all is discovered. Why would Doggerland be fundamentally different to the surrounding areas which are at a higher altitude?

> Göbeklitepe

If there were major stone structures at the bottom of the sea we would have very likely found them already.

Also.. I'm not even trying to imply that there weren't any complex societies in Doggerland (of course it's extremely likely that there weren't) but they would have likely primarily used wood to construct structures due to obvious reasons and any remains would have been very unlikely to survive.

IMHO associating "monumental" architecture or remains with complex societies and "civilization" is flawed. Just consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidanetske
The most likely future is that we start standardizing infrastructure and building in a different way that’s easy for robots to use. Kind of like how cars would suck if we didn’t have roads and Benjamin Franklin couldn’t have predicted power plants and wires to every home. Then people who can’t afford the new stuff will keep paying plumbers but there’s a slow path to get rid of them. The old stuff will always be around but much less important.

I expect new “robo friendly” roads will be the first example but of course homes could do the same.

Think like how the Catholic Church never disappeared but the rest of the world moved on around it. We will never get rid of context sensitive plumbing and electrical work but it just won’t really matter
