That might exclude a lot of your user base. For example a big chunk of Android users, or Linux workstation users in enterprise settings who are on older LTS distributions.

For Python: PyTorch has Vulkan support according to https://docs.pytorch.org/executorch/stable/backends/vulkan/v... - wonder how performance is there.

Vulkan Compute is catching up with HIP (or whatever the compatibility stuff is called now), which seems like a welcome break from CUDA - in this benchmark it beats CUDA in some benchmarks on AMD: https://www.phoronix.com/rev

The context in the GP comment was generally getting v6 connectivity for containers. "Internal" is a context dependent term that you introduced. But to give a use case for that, for example you might want to have (maybe at a future

For a lot of use cases a major advantage of IPv6 is to get away from ambiguous rfc1918 addressing. You can then just put an allow rule between arbitrary v6 addresses anywhere on the internet when you need connectivity without any other hack

Vulkan compute is also getting some good press as a local llm platform (at least on the linux side), will be interesting to see which crosses the line to "can ship production quality apps on this" first.

You might think that a dGPU is always faster but the limited memory capacity bites you there (unless you go to datacenter dGPUs that cost tens of thousnds). Look at eg https://www.ywian.com/blog/amd-ryzen-ai-max-plus-39

I guess it's the physical HDMI port that's needed, as Minis and the Pro laptops have working monitor HDMI monitor support?

It'll be interesting down the road to see how this affects the rate of security bugs that are not memory safety related.

You don't need an external machine. Since games are set up to allow twitch etc streaming, it's easy for apps on the same machine to get access to the video.

Germany allowed it in 2021 or so. The biggest variation is above 6 GHz: most of the world allows 5.9-6.4 but reserves 6.5-7 GHz for cellular or haven't decided yet if it'll be for wifi or cellular. There's a nice map on http

It would be good if we had a term that didn't confuse linking with translation. In English compiling means joining together many parts, after all.

I still suspect JS. It's much harder to shoot yourself in the foot with Python. Even if you use JSON: >>> json.loads('{"nr": 348555896224571969}') {'nr': 348555896224571969} >>> t

What's the Android situation there? Last I heard Google didn't license Android there and they were using Chinese app stores with forked AOSP Android. Which would seem to put the sideloading decision in the hands of the forked OS.

There are other CVE numbering authorities you can report a vulnerability to and apply for a CVE, or appeal, but this does possibly have a chilling effect if the vendor's CNA refuses valid vulns. (Like with MS in https://news
