If you consider most of this going to rich people it's more understandable. Per capita doesn't try to describe the average person.

The article is describing just lobbying.

There's a security angle: Load balancers have big problems with request smuggling. HTTP/2 does something to the picture, maybe someone is more up to date if it's currently better or worse? ref: https://portswigger.

I'd say "economically viable" is not useful pharsing. It's of course economically viable to slow down the climate catastrophe as the costs will be so vast also economically (in addition to humanly, morally, etc) and we h

If you think how many people who looked and failed to realize this optimization in the preceding performance efforts of the community, you could argue for quite a big number.

This kind of stuff is an intersting demonstration of how far compilers are from extracting high performance from hardware based on high level code. What would it take for traditional compiler tech or AI assisted optimization agents to come

Yes, you should be able to call wasm stuffs from Clojure with it too.

It seems mostly Python, which is nice: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepGEMM/blob/main/deep_gemm/...

In addition to the fossil fuels, car you have emissions from the manufacturing and ingredients (steel, lithium, etc), the recycling, etc. See eg https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/623b0fb28fa8f... p.5 for a

That's a oft repeated meme but not true. They haven't even been in power in cabinets, mostly in opposition, and in the exception cases haven't been the deciding faction in the coalition govenments. If you want to get into wha

You mean because users don't know how to sideload? Maybe so far, as there's been no need. On Android it's just one pref and then you download the APK in the browser.

Tracking just the car fuel is significantly undercounting, keyword: lifecycle CO2 footprint. Esp for EVs.

But those are also vulnerable to these laws, no? App sideloading seems the only escape.

You don't need to get Signal from an app store (unless you're on iOS I guess)

There's been no fundamental change in the kernel level representation of pthreads, they are still clone()d processes with just some sharing flags set differently that eg affect how PIDs work.

Anyone have links or something else to relate about what would be the oldest x86 SMTP node?

SIMD was introduced in the 80s but become ubiquitous when Intel got in on it in the 90s. It's interesting that (for x86), PLT is still stuck at hand-writing assembly 40 years later.

Which progressive rewrite attempts do you have in mind?

Try dipping your toes into graphics programming, you can still use GPUs for that as well.

It's mostly unrelated to the platform "mastering" sleep/wakeup, those work really well on Linux as used in Android.

To add: for the end user, the way to easily get working suspend is to buy known-good compatible hardware. It's been solid on every business Thinkpad for a long long time for me and consistently seems people on Windows with the same mod

AI energy use is a possible future risk if not addressed, but a much bigger problem we have is the massive wasteful fossils use in electricity generation (used for non-IT things) and transport. We need to get everybody much below the Europe

Aren't there also carbon neutral ways to make cement/concrete?

The "fast enough" illusion comes from having consumers adjust for years to flaky wireless connections after we had a good period of steady broadband performance improvements. If the latter had continued at the same rate, we could

You can't fix problems caused by network latency by adjustments in real time apps like video/audio calls or gaming. Maybe you are thinking of working around bufferbloat?

Indeed. It's sad how GPU programming is mostly stuck in the dark ages of C/C++ (well, worse than C++, with proprietary mutually incompatible variants, and buggy sw stacks). We have Futhark at least...
