Sure, there is no legal issue with these contributions. The problem is why would a project like Debian spend a bunch of work stewarding the Asahi project when Apple can just make the project impossible to progress if they so desire? The Deb

Most hardware vendors don’t make operating systems, so they are not incentivized to limit what software can run on the hardware. For example, intel and AMD contribute a lot of code and engineering hours to open source projects because they

Apple could change the platform/firmware to break Asahi if they wanted to. They could lock down the hardware to make it nearly impossible to install another OS like they do with iphone.

Protecting the secret from the host is a superset of protecting the secret from a workload.

Why would any group want to take on a project which could be instantly killed by an external for profit entity? For now Asahi is left alone by Apple but that could change in a single day and the entire project is dead. It doesn’t seem like

How does this compare with TPUs? Can you not have secrets in the TPU which cannot be accessed directly by apps, solving this threat vector? I get that you want compatibility with popular libraries, but I wonder if the actual solution is to

It seems like they shifted heavily to prioritizing enterprise users. Starting in the last day or two I started getting much faster responses on an enterprise plan.

Microsoft expects less from their engineers, and it shows in the large pay differential from Meta.

No, infrastructure engineers. The one who scale the system up so you don’t have to rate limit.

All of the smart people I know went to work at OpenAI and none at Anthropic. In addition to financial capital, OpenAI has a massive advantage in human capital over Anthropic. As long as OpenAI can sustain compute and paying SWE $1million&#x

The feeling I get with jj is it is almost like people are trying to convince others why jj is superior instead of just sharing that jj exists and let others decide themselves. It seems like every few months there is a jj post on HN which de

I can see that gold settled in London is worth more than gold settled in NYC given trust in both nations right now.

I have seen that too. People on the way out trying to get access to production systems. Layoffs suck, but the business needs to protect itself from those who are departing. The company used to have more lax separation procedures but after t

I wonder if visibility was good enough that looking both ways before crossing the runway would have prevented this.

Yes, I have worked with the strong but arrogant/snarky engineers. Luckily most of them got canned or forced out because the environment they create around themselves more than negates the positive impact they have. The strongest engine

Yea I knew meta was toxic, but publicly beefing over something over a decade ago is a whole other matter. I can’t even remember what I was working on 10 years ago, and even if I did I wouldn’t be bringing people down that much later.

I work on infrastructure at bigco and we landed on a 5 second default timeout for our RPC framework which is interesting. Sometimes I think there should be a list of sane and tested production configs: default rpc timeout, default backoff e

There are standards but actually designing a sane network architecture, buying all of the correct network hardware, and configuring all of the software to properly use that hardware is hard. At my company we have a team of about 20 people w

Modern AMD processors are basically a bunch of smaller processors (chiplets) glued together with an interconnect. So yes single chip nodes can have many numa zones.

BGP based routing is a major pain in the ass to do on-prem. If you want true HA in the datacenter you are going to need to utilize BGP.
