Title is extremely misleading. It was 100 people out of 250k in one particular group (.04%), not 100 people total as implied in the title. Using the same logic you could say "Only one person has reported bitcoin to the IRS." (out

Seems... dangerous? Project states it uses "3mw 780nm Infrared IR Diode Laser". 3mw is enough to damage your eye if you don't blink or turn away. Since it's infrared, you won't blink, or possible even notice anythin

I wonder if the author actually tested this. There is no cache flushing in asm.js or wasm, so a key component of the example spectre.c, "mm_clflush()" is a no-op. Even if the example were to compile, I don't see how it would

"Part of their product is open-source" As I understand it, this is no longer the case (as compared to say an open core company). They had some open source software. They abandoned it. They hope to open source their tech in the fut

I may be misreading this, so please correct me. It seems as if this project has gone from open source to a closed source service ? [ https://github.com/replit/jsrepl ] Are Facebook, Google, and all the other name brand

Don't get too excited. This is a micro-benchmark and not representative of what most real world apps will see. A benchmark of something the scope of a typical rails app is likely to be much much less. Earlier descriptions of MJIT menti

TLDR: It's a basic chat app. It's using a streaming http connection and css "::before" to reverse the order of new output, so it doesn't need javascript. Interesting hack, but...

I want reasonably priced GPUs for machine learning, so I'm hoping GPU miners will flood the market to liquidate their assets (most can probably get back their much of their sunken costs if they sell now) rather than risk mining it when

I'm referring to https://github.com/excamera/excamera-static-bins . It's not clear where the build scripts, etc are for these projects.

The paper states "ExCamera is free software. The source code and evaluation data are available at https://ex.camera .", but there doesn't seem to be any source code at the linked site. The github has some source c

I wouldn't take my example too literally. The example was just to illustrate the basic logic for fail open and intentionally wasn't complete or detailed. For purposes of discussing fail open, how that logic gets translated during

by EgoIncarnate 9y ago
I think you're overly focusing on details. Authorized(User) might check expiration or other things, but that isn't really relevant to the fail open vs fail close idea being discussed.

If auth is up, everything works as normal. If it's down let everyone in. I'm envisioning something on the backend equivalent to: OnGetVideoChunkRequest: if Authorized(User) or IsDown(AuthSystem) then SendVideoChunk

by EgoIncarnate 9y ago
I think this is a backend thing, so renegade client isn't an issue. The choice is: if the auth system was down, should the video system prevent everyone from seeing video, or let everyone in. If auth is down, some people will be able t

There was a similar experiment where a research ground up flatworms and fed them to other flatworms and they learned the behavior faster. [1] I suspect the worms aren't "learning" anything, but are simply adapting an inbuilt

Potentially minimal is probably more accurate. It's workload dependent. In some cases, such as frequent interrupts or system calls on older CPUs without the PCID and INVPCIB features to mitigate the cost, it can be be very expensive.

If you had said CPU designers were being sneaky it would be more obvious that you weren't being literal. By saying " Intel silently, sneakily...", it's more personal and seems as if you are being literal. It wasn't

I'm not sure what kind of answer you are expecting. All I am saying is that Intel is not uniquely in the wrong here. There is a whole industry of bad decisions. Whether the decisions were conscious, or only obvious in hindsight I can&

Fine, be angry. Even if the reason for anger was justified, the abuse isn't. Write a scathing blog post, rant on youtube, don't buy future products, organize a boycott. Fine. Death threats, calling people at all hours, swatting th

> You just need to not give a fuck Given this is an emotional issue, I suspect this is easier said than done for many people. Whether it be physical pain or emotional pain, some people are more sensitive than others.
