Less “intentional” and more “unavoidable”. There was limited runway to fix the S5L8900 design, the Cortex A8 wasn’t ready at tapeout, and so the ARM1176 was it. If Broadcom hadn’t looked like they were fumbling the BCM2730 it would have bee

The IFX team that produced the baseband firmware had never heard of Sicherheit. It was … riddled with trivially exploitable security issues.

DFU is implemented in the ROM; it is morally if not technically a subset of the open standard by the same name. Recovery mode is implemented in iBoot; it provides mediated access to the command interpreter and some file-ish transfer capabil

To make scatter/gather go fast, you either spend a lot of effort caching descriptor lists for pinned buffers (because you expect to see them often), or heavily optimising your VM's v2p translation machinery, or some combination of

> How has it been a huge boon to the GNU ecosystem? It would seem that you never used GCC in the pre-llvm era. The GCC project has had a couple of notable periods of stagnation, in each case being "rescued" by the emergence of

You mean "I don't care about any of that". We know this, you don't need to tell us (and it makes your argument weaker that you did...).

Where do you think it got the game logic from? Recall that this is an LLM; it doesn't "think", it's just cutting and pasting "likely" scraps of things from its training set. At this point, the vast majority of

... and our opinions about how badly this is going to pan out are based on decades of experience with how badly that panned out. Nobody that has ever had to maintain software is going to look at this and be impressed. Without a reproducible

You need to be able to explain the goal sufficiently well, and then you need something goal-seeky to do the work, i.e. a closed-loop system. LLMs are impersonators. They take a prompt and then make up something that relates to the prompt ba

Because the code was written before unit tests were a thing, and nobody is willing to take the risk / do the work to fix it, especially when "it's been shipping for years and nobody has ever complained".

You are already dependent on a set of curators to not simply outright lie and export the data as captured. This take lacks subtlety; unless you are going to abandon the set of functionality ("where is the best fried chicken near me?&qu

Meta wants to know everything it can about you because other people will pay them for the information. Apple doesn’t. It’s really that simple.

Flat-pack furniture is not an efficiency due to the cost of assembly, but shipping, as furniture is mostly air. You will note that most flat-pack furniture designs somehow fit incredibly efficiently into cubic prisms that themselves fit

The use of "beating" implies that there was a competition, and indirectly that this "convergent" attribute is somehow worthwhile. Which isn't demonstrated, so you might want to address that...

Opal is quite good, as webcam hardware goes. Still a ways to go on the software, but this sort of thing takes time. iOS phone-as-camera is exceptionally good, but if you need your phone during a meeting, that’s not so great.

It is gatekeeping. The poster was not offering advice, they were being actively discouraging. You can argue shades of grey, but at the end of the day this is an unsolicited discouragement, and an arbitrary out-grouping. The fact that you do

It's not "executed" per se. It consumes space in the cache hierarchy, and a slot in the front-end decoder. It won't ever be issued, but depending on the microarchitecture in question it might result in an issue cycle hav

The IBT NOP is "free" in that it will evaporate in the pipeline; it still has to be fetched and decoded to some extent, but it does not consume execution resources. From a tooling perspective, what you're describing (two entr
