In general, verifying programs is extremely hard, not just because of rice's theorem but because it's so easy to miss a spot, especially for non-trivial bytecode languages like lua's. wasm has no concepts of for loops for exa

I'm not sure why AMD has bet on Windows. The SFX industry has always been using Linux, and various Unixes before that. All the big clusters also run Linux. If they wanted to steal market share from Nvidia, then why also convince people

The startups where employees get really rich still exist. I'm pretty sure the early employees of OpenAI are generationally rich for example. It's just that these companies very often are the darlings since their inception, get con

Regarding the deletion point, note that you cannot delete S3 buckets that are non-empty, so in order to actually delete data you have to first manually delete them. Of course, if any action is allowed then that is as well. But still, it&#x2

Neon keeps an NVME cache in the Pageservers, and it also keeps copies of the data in S3, one for the main storage, and one for the backup case. The data also gets stored on special replicated storage (Safekeepers). So it might be in 6 diffe

Googling for "site:nsa.gov filetype:pdf" gives tens of thousands of results with documents produced by the NSA about various things (the google counter is known to lie but that's not my point). They do publish things.
