Insurance is a terrible name for what we have, its not insurance, its blackmail. You dying and zero being paid out by the insurance company is the best profit margin they can ask for, that's the entire goal of an insurance company at

Exactly this, hard to grok why people think somehow the fab is the boat anchor around Intel's neck. No, it was the golden goose that kept Intel ahead until it didn't. BK failed to understand the moat Intel had was the Fab. The moa

I’m interested to see how things progress! rustc itself is still reliant on llvm and ld, but there’s some intriguing alternatives coming in cranelift and wild both written in rust themselves, and I think done in a way that would allow incre

Sounds like a dystopian hell to me. Best of luck contacting the robo help support for the robo taxi trying to explain your unique human scenario that it’s never seen I guess. You bled all over the car because you were shot and then crawled

Yeah the robotaxi is a pipe dream grift. Humans are gross and nasty, I think some of these people need to do a ride along in a cab sometime in the winter in a busy poorly marked city on a Friday or Saturday night. Pray tell how the robot ki

I don’t think the intent was directly to embarrass anyone, but the standoffs and loosely stacked pcbs really did seem unfortunate. It was dropped, Mark repaired it and it was quite likely just as good as new minus the enclosure damage. Audi

I watched this episode, hilariously terrible construction of what I’m sure was a thoughtfully designed amp. The thing had pcbs stacked using plastic m2.5-like standoffs that had snapped. Apparently the product designer claimed Mark couldn’t

Which is why Pat was on the right track imho with foundry. It’s too bad he won’t have the tenure needed to see the outcome of 18a, good or bad. Even Arm is tenuous at best with risc-v right on its heels.

They can’t compete with byd. Doubtful any auto company reasonably can.

Isn’t io_uring eating away at these bypasses like spdk and dpdk ?

C++ is somehow aesthetically dis pleasing, thus mixin idea doesn’t change the needle for me.

Don’t need to be remote to do a whole lot of nothing. Being a bench warmer in the office is absolutely possible

Aren’t we all skeptical? What’s the real value exactly.

Long term I wonder how healthy x86 is as a whole. It seems like only a matter of time before someone puts out risc-v aws/gcp/azure instances that compete, or puts out a laptop part on a chromebook that kills it. The only thing hol

If only, somehow any failures will still be placed on a different plate. This is the winner of a dying/dead empire.

Google sure seems to think it’s solved and prevented many exploits. Do you have similar credentials to back your statement suggesting Rust doesn’t solve a category of security issues? The same kind this hardware extension is looking to solv

The entire premise seems to be that if you are stuck using not Rust in some way then CHERI helps. How is my comment not correct then? This is a bandaid to help poorly written code handle memory faults with hardware exceptions. MMU and MPUs

This seems to be a common theme with many c++ developers honestly.

Or… you could use a memory safe language and not have to try and patch up things in hardware for buggy software. If we didn’t have Rust this would be super cool. With Rust this seems like slapping flexseal on the leaky boat.

Bikes can last a lifetime, this is a case in point. Imagine how little cost in carbon and energy has gone into this item after its life of use. Now imagine the same with an automobile. It was a terrible mistake to build a car centric world

This is generics. Calling x.some_func() in rust means there is either a type specific function or an impl trait. If more than one option is there rust requires more explicitly calling the types function with x as a parameter. E.g. Something

Those are all features of rust not bugs. Function overloads are evil evil evil. Requiring some mental gymnastics by the reader to pretend to be the compiler what function is actually called. That sucks.

It's hard not to be fat in the US when 90% of the time people are sitting down doing nothing. Car centric culture and infrastructure, along with unregulated highly addictive packaged food. What could possibly go wrong? Good thing the m

Meanwhile x86 has maintained backwards compat for (checks calendar) yeah decades. Literally decades. With standards up the wazoo to avoid the disaster that is the Arm ecosystem without UEFI or something like it. Every Arm SoC being a snowfl

Presumably all the things that have gone wrong have been fixed? I can honestly say the micro reactors and pebble beds look far more fail safe than the typical PWR/BWR that must have power and a pump running as I understand things to

Exactly, I had worked on creating a implementation of saml in go, initially I wanted to use the builtin xml library but quickly found it to be overwhelmingly difficult and ended up creating a binding to xmlsec.
