Firefox does NOT do any this, as far as I know. What is the source of this FUD? A public discussion was started to get to know how people felt about privacy conserving telemetry collection that would be opt out by default. There was massi

A rather arbitrary claim with nothing to back it up. For sure, Firefox made more security improvements in 2016 than it did in some of the years where they did feature it.

Coincidentally it not being worth their time coincided with Mozilla not sponsoring the contest any more. You can make of that what you will.

One major weakness of Firefox, relative to Chrome and Edge, is its use of sandboxing and process isolation to limit the impact that security flaws can have. Next year Mozilla will be working to improve these areas. Firefox has been shippi

You simply don't ship That's totally an option for our product, great idea! Why did I never think of this! No seriously we are shipping, using OpenCL and it gives about a 20 times performance advantage for most users regardl

So you're admitting that the problem is quality tooling, not lack of C++?

Also the fact that OpenCL lost to CUDA for being stuck in C for so long, shows what most GPU devs actually prefer. Aw come on, you're sure it has nothing to do with the largest GPGPU vendor pushing CUDA very heavily and intentionally

What GPU world though? People still write regular shaders in languages that are much more C like. People writing GPGPU code are few. Most of the DL GPU use is in Python through several layers, and in the end you are running hand-written S

This doesn't sound like a case where auto is the one making things harder...

Some of the vendors allow you to select the delivery company. I like this. It's pretty hard to get back to a seller and try to explain him the delivery company he is using is potentially scamming, especially as it only affects me (the

Believe me, even if you are home 100% of the time, packages will still not get delivered because "nobody was home". IIRC DHL is especially prone to this. I think the drivers try to catch up time or whatever.

I don't doubt you're right about the "anything but basic refund/reship is a nightmare", but I think the reason people are praising Amazon (and I would too) is that most other companies (big OR small) don't even

I'll continue using it as long as the users are still split between NVIDIA and AMD cards. If AMD GPUs die out, CUDA it is. Or maybe give up and use a wrapper library for whatever 10 alternatives-only-supported-by-one-marginal-vendor th

The OpenCL kernel language is very similar to the CUDA one, before they started adding more C++ support. It's pretty easy to translate between the two if you don't use hw intrinsics. And segmenting the codebase is a MAJOR feature.
76.
by gcp 9y ago
Same here. What else can you do to ship GPU acceleration to AMD and NVIDIA people? The alternatives recommended here aren't even serious IMHO. I'd rather switch to CUDA and wait till Intel/AMD sort out a REAL compatibility la

So we're hoping CloudFlare and Amazon don't have such bugs? (Ignoring the fact that it was already demonstrated at least once that they in fact do...)

Random (no pun intended) thought after reading this: how much of the supposedly secure HTTPS/TLS traffic is terminated by hardware load balancers and such that aren't really open and might have similar vulnerabilities?

Straight from the GNU page: "The original author of GNU Wget is Hrvoje Nikšić."

I wonder if the media attention due to him getting banned from traveling to the USA contributed to him being known to a wider audience, and thus on the radar of whoever picks the award winner.

they all panic on failure. It’s one thing for Firefox to crash when my computer completely runs out of swap Actually most large allocations in Firefox are fallible and the browser will only crash when it can't deal with an allocation

What's the word for pressuring a person until they make a decision they immediately regret?

The problem is that they are Mozilla's competitor (Google - Gmail). It's not named explicitly but the dots are pretty damn obvious to connect, I think.

by gcp 9y ago
Mozilla employs about 1000 people and has revenues of around 300M-400M, so there's been a miscalculation there. 1/400th with 1000 employees doesn't sound very high at all. The numbers are probably from the Mozilla Foundation,

Somewhat pointless remark as WPA only protects up to the access point. Any vulnerability after that has wider implications regardless of the WPA status.

Apparently the relevant specs are behind a paywall, so almost no-one who understood security properly looked at it. This was rather obvious from WEP, no?

No, no, not at all! That's exactly what I was pointing at: most reviews are using the most power hungry Ryzen SKUs (95W), so of course it looks bad in comparison. Meanwhile, the price/perf leader and most sold Ryzen SKU is only 65

by gcp 9y ago
Doesn't Ryzen have better power efficiency compared to these new Coffee Lake's? The issue is a bit muddled because sites are (for some weird reason?) ignoring the most common Ryzen SKU, which is 65W (R7 1700).
