EDIT: this comment was mistaken, bitcoin uses elliptic curve based key pairs, as hackcasual points out below. One thing to keep in mind: Bitcoin wallets are implemented with public/private key pairs. If you believed that you had a meth

This is only the toy version of the actual problems solved by the Allies, which were more nuanced, and involved reasoning about the tank manufacturing pipeline. The write-up [0] doesn't go into the math but makes an interesting read. [

It's worth pointing out that the Linux kernel cannot do this due to the GPL, by design

If you could come up with a better abstraction, it would probably be better to build a new genre of computation device around that abstraction, rather than sticking with FPGAs.
907.
by dooglius 7y ago
With a title like "FPGAs Have the Wrong Abstraction", it rather suggests that the author has something better in mind.

Presumably, the kernel will continue to support 32-bit, it's just that Ubuntu won't package various 32-bit libraries anymore. But, can't Wine just bundle any library dependencies itself?

Clang does have __builtin_unpredictable, but last I checked it doesn't actually seem to have an effect.

Unless I misunderstood, it's not independent as it's backed by fiat reserves.

Did MMN get taxpayer funds? It sounded as though NYC merely gave them rights to a channel.

I'm surprised, I thought it was run by Netflix so that they'd also have to boost all Netflix traffic. Maybe they are doing DPI? Netflix also has a "test video" somewhere that is probably a more representative test.

No, communication is implemented as message-passing (but that is largely irrelevant), but ultimately the end result is changing physical state.

Doesn't POSIX already let you lock files? I don't see any reason to make it mandatory though, it not as if locking gives you a security boundary.

They do, it's discussed on TFA

Interesting. It looks like the Castagnoli polynomial is optimized assuming independent bit errors, while the "standard" CRC32 is optimized for consecutive bursts of bit errors (e.g. whole-byte errors). I guess it depends on the us

Windows does not have fork(), which as a sibling comment indicates is one of the main issues with removing overcommit.

The OOM killer can strike at any time, regardless of the mapping options you've set, even if you aren't explicitly or implicitly allocating new memory. What I'd like, and what I think twic is asking for, is a way to "opt
925.
by dooglius 7y ago
That has not been my experience. I disable overcommit on my machines and it has been considerably nicer to have apps exit due to malloc failing than random processes getting OOM-killed.
926.
by dooglius 7y ago
It's already quite easy to implement manually though, just do a write after allocation.
927.
by dooglius 7y ago
If you take a look at the Linux kernel, a hugely complex and sophisticated piece of software, you'll find that it gracefully handles allocation failures.

You're right, based on the context of the post, I was interpreting that statement to make a broader claim than it was; I've modified my comment not to contradict it.

by dooglius 7y ago
The title here is just blatantly false; there are certainly some scenarios in which it won't fail, but many in which it will. The author is aware of this since he fixes the claim toward the end: > To clarify, the surprising behaviou

It sounds like it's an approximation, but the abstract indicates that it can be used for training, not just inference, so it shouldn't matter a whole lot--if the training process includes the errors, the neural net will be trained
