If you stick with Intel you are artificially holding yourself back. NVIDIA is is optimizing for datacenter thus its stuff is not available to consumers except at inflated prices.

Apple has consistent and significant speed improvements with each new M-series chip and their offers have not been increasing in price for the equivalent offers - e.g. Mac Mini and MacBook Air. AMD is doing pretty well as well, especially which high core counts.

Although with the new tariffs, everything is going up in price but that is not related to Moore's law but Trump's economic policies.

It was my understanding that if two black holes collide, they just form a bigger black hole, but we know there's a black hole in our universe, which then would mean that there's a black hole inside of a black hole that did not merge with the parent black hole, right? Is that something that is considered possible?

> Then the paper observes that memory safety is still a significant problem on the server. But instead of pointing out the root cause -- the absence of sandboxing -- the authors argue that applications should instead be rewritten in go or rust! This is absurd. The kernel already provides strong memory protection guarantees for each process. The kernel also provides hard guarantees for access to devices and the file system. But server software doesn't take advantage of any of these guarantees. When a server process intermixes data of multiple customers and privilege levels then any tiny programming mistake (regardless of memory safety) can result in privilege escalation or catastrophic data leaks. What use is memory safety when your go program returns the wrong user's data because of an off-by-one error? You don't need a root exploit if your process already has "root access" to the database server.

Yes, because servers are inherently multi-tenant, you can't inherently avoid the risks. Process isolation can't help you, even if you had the resources to fork off for every single request. If you have a database pool in your process, you can go and access other people's data. There is never going to be a case where having an RCE to a server isn't a serious issue.

Also, neither process isolation nor memory safety can guarantee you don't simply return the wrong data for a given customer, so that point really neither here nor there.

(I'd also argue that memory safety clearly matters on mobile platforms still anyway. Many of the exploit chains that break kernel protections still rely on exploiting memory bugs in userland first before they can climb their way up. There's also other risks to this. Getting an RCE into someone's Signal process is an extremely dangerous event for the user.)
Yea exactly.

Inappropriate according to the school. Schools determine all sorts of things along those lines. They choose what to teach in the first place. Is that in violation of freedom of speech too? School libraries aren't unlimited. They can't contain every possible book. And you wouldn't want them to contain, for example, Playboy magazine or other actual pornographical publications. Schools are obviously allowed to determine what is and isn't appropriate; this is much better, having it decided locally, rather than what, deciding at a national level what is and isn't okay.
That isn't transistor density doubling every 18-24 months related, which is specifically what Moore's law is about. Those increases are brought about by improved design, increasing bus bandwidth, larger chip sizes, etc.

Most C/C++ users don't understand how Rust achieve memory safety because they don't know Rust enough. They always underestimate Rust memory safety. The truth is Rust can give you nearly 100% memory safety. The point of unsafe code in Rust is to isolate unsafe operations and provide a safe interface to it. As long as you wrote that unsafe code correctly the rest of your safe code will never have memory safety problems.
When we talk to companies that are in the business of helping other companies that were hacked, the stories we hear are never that they were hacked by some 0-day in the Linux kernel or a server software caused by some memory-safety issue. Instead, they are hacked because some did not install updates of some component on the webserver, password authentication was used, the same passwords are used on different servers, etc. or some bug in some overly complex Microsoft infrastructure part.

I use a variation of this as a bookmarklet, perhaps you'll find it useful:

You could probably set that as the URL of your home page to get the behavior you described.

I add a style="height:100%" in the HTML tag so that clicking anywhere puts focus on it for editing. You could add other styling and initial content as desired.

I got really good at rxjs and saw a way to make a custom jsx transform where every element is an Observable of string. I've been using it to make my site/blog and just got done writing a mini self contained jira board to iron out the interactivity aspects.

Since it's strings, I just render to file for backend static site generation, then frontend I use diffDom library to do efficient (enough) updates from html string without destroying dom state.

It works really well, but I also don't allow inline event listeners (they make everything much harder), so I've been learning how to leverage event delegation. All in all a pretty fun side project.

I've started working on a shared shopping list for group vacations. No sign-up, just create a list and share the link with friends.

> genocidal treatment of palestinians in the Gaza strip in the form of ethnic cleansing

Well that made no sense. Genocide is killing people. Ethnic cleansing is moving people. Those are extremely different things. The entire Muslim world has already done a 99% ethnic cleansing of Jews, and where is the outrage? That's 10x the number of people that live in Gaza.
The numbers I quoted are still valid. What changed primarily is that it went back to 20 years. Up from 10.

“ Today, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) reopened the online income-driven repayment (IDR) plan and loan consolidation applications for borrowers. The application was temporarily paused to comply with the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals injunction issued last month, which directed the Department to cease implementation of the Biden Administration’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan and parts of other IDR plans. Because the online application incorporated provisions subject to the injunction, it was necessary to revise the form, making it unavailable to borrowers in the interim. Paper loan consolidation applications were available to borrowers during that time.”

I suspect there’s more swelling that we don’t hear about. Environment matters though. Phones and tablets with wide operating ranges (Samsung was rated for like 0-120 F) have higher failure rates outdoors than iPhones… but if you try to use iPhones in a hot parking lot in the summer or keep them in an outer pocket in the winter, they’ll shut down. (The device doesn’t break, but it fails for the user)

For laptops the target was 4 year replacement for most and 2 year for high performance. IIRC, there was a Dell model where the swelling and battery shape was such that the device was super wobbly and damaged that spiked the numbers. Most devices would just get tagged as a bad battery and repaired or replaced.

If I was still there or in that role, I’d collect more battery data in general, as it’s both an employee safety and perhaps a quantitative difference that can be leveraged in purchasing.
> It can use the length of the function to estimate how long it will take.

Ah, yes, because a function that defines and then prints a 10,000 line string will take x1,000 longer to run than a 10 line function which does matrix multiplication over several billion elements.
my mom showed me her phone the other day - she had updated her Whatsapp App and now the search bar has changed from "search your chats" to "search chats or ask Meta AI anything".
I've googled a bit but did not find an option to disable meta AI and also found no definitive answer what Meta AI actually does - if i search for a chat, does it use this chat as context to provide answers? does it run locally (i highly doubt that)? is it only another interface to chat with an llm?
It sure seems that this might be a stepping stone to pipe Whatsapp Messages into Meta AI and thus ignoring e2ee, not sure if it's done already but the line is getting quite thin.
Show HN: I made Confetti: a configuration language file format
Hello everyone, I created Confetti: a simple, typeless, and localization-friendly configuration language designed for human-editable configuration files.

In my opinion, JSON works well for data interchange, but it's overused for configuration, it's not localization-friendly, and it's too syntactically noisy. INI is simple but lacks hierarchical structures and doesn't have a formal specification. Confetti is intended to bridge the gap.

I aim to keep Confetti simple and minimalistic, while encouraging others to extend it. Think of it like Markdown for configuration files: there's a core specification, but your welcome to create your own variations that suit your needs.
Succinct.

Always amusing to see how powerful both sides of the debate feel. On this side you have all the “slop coding” comments from “supreme” engineers and on the other side you have AI does everything correctly folks.

Such a weird take for both because there does seem to be a sweet middle ground.
Most people vastly overstate the effect that CRT displays had on the appearance of legacy software.

Yes, very early on, when people used TVs or cheap composite monitors as the display devices for their computers, there were blurry pixel edges, bloom effects, dot crawl, color artifacting, and all the rest.

But by the '90s, we had high-quality monitors designed for high-resolution graphics with fast refresh rates, with crisp pixel boundaries and minimal artifacting. CRT filters overcompensate for this a lot, and end up making SVGA-era graphics anachronistically look like they're being displayed on composite monitors.
Limitations breed creativity, it works for almost any endeavour in the arts or engineering.

Not a fan of the immediate effect on part of the sentence (everything should be contingent on the result of the appeal process).
Most likely, however then the question is what technoglies get to replace those with safer approaches.

Which as proven by the failure to push safer whole OS stacks, tends to fail on the political front, even if the technologies are capable to achieve the same.

I would have loved to Managed DirectX and XNA to stay around and not be replaced by DirectXTK, that Singularity, Midory, Inferno, Oberon, Midori,.... would gotten a place in the market, and so forth.

M1 from November 2020 has 16 billion on a 5mn process node at 39W TDP.

M4 from November 2024 has 28 billion on a 3mn process node at 22W TDP.

And remember that 5mn process node is just the length in one direction (although it isn't 5mn), so density technically increased by (5^2 / 3^2 = ) 2.7x during that 4 year period.

That is less than the 4x one would expect, but it is far from Moore's law being dead.
Huh? I don't think it's the Muslim world that did the cleansing lol. At least in morocco most of the Jewish population left after Israel was founded, after the actual Holocaust in Europe. Not because of ethnic cleansing (though I agree they were treated badly, and I understand why they left).

But according to you the ethnic cleansing of the Jews was okay because it somehow wasn't a genocide right? Otherwise why would you be okay with what Israel is doing right now after saying that what israel is doing is
just like the cleansing of the Jews?

And going back to the original point, are you saying that voting against the administration that enabled the gen- I mean ethnic cleansing of your population is somehow voting against your self interests? Talk about complete partisan blindsidedness.
I was disappointed that the article only once mentioned “from our perspective” in relation to the spin of galaxies. One of the most fascinating things that you first learn about when you try to understand relativity, is the fact that there is no “still” point in the entire universe. Out in space, the point in space one foot in front of your space suit’s helmet can be called still by you, but it is just as reasonable to call a rock racing by you at a million miles an hour the central still point, where all other motion in the universe can be measured against. Because there is no absolute still anywhere. And when you understand that, that’s when all these cool concepts can then be described, related to time changes that happen between two locations when the relative speed difference between the two objects or locations approaches the speed of light. (So you can return from your trip to Alpha Centuri and meet your great great grandson who is older than you.)

And just like there is no still point in the universe, there is no up or down. So yes, it may be true that, IF you select a couple of arbitrary points in the universe to be up and down, THEN you can count how any galaxies spin left vs right. And it is way cool to find out that it doesn’t appear to be 50/50, and to wonder about why. But I think the article author did the readers a disservice by glossing over the “no up or down” fact.

Windows 9x suffered from DLL hell. So every time a program was installed it potentially overwrote dlls with a different version often older or incompatible. Windows 2000/XP just redirected the installer's dlls into a per program location preventing this which is a large reason those versions were so much more stable.

Most people recommended a complete reinstall every 6 months well through the XP era but I found this was hardly ever necessary after I switched to 2000. Conversely, during my 98 days I never had to schedule reinstalls, Windows had rotted apart by then forcing me to do it!
