the phrase "[LLM] thinks X is happening" is good chunk of the problem it didn't. it produced an output, and you hopefully invoked some human judgement before believing it was worth sharing, and you are hopefully expecting

This is the initial endorphin rush you get when wielding a complex system. The feeling changes when the complexity explodes in your face.

A positive vision of humanity alone doesn't bestow personal agency. Personal agency alone doesn't solve structural dystopia.

You reckon large language models run by this mob of billionaire boot-licking dweebs will lead to a Star Trek style utopia? Come on.

Take a look at how modern PCs enumerate all of their non-PCI hardware. I'll put a bucket over here.

Because they're designed for different things. Ampere's primary focus is running lots of simple tasks concurrently, at relatively low power, with lots of I/O. So, many tens to hundreds of cores, not too fast, at lower power d

Whoa, I just mentioned GURPS in a completely different context in this very comment thread. :explodinghead:

zig makes cross-compiling easy for a single project - but not everything is zig (or supported by zig cc) the various embedded build systems make cross-compiling easy at scale, which means you often don't need to think about it when add

I doubt it's that complicated, motivated, or considered... It's probably just garden variety disrespectful behaviour. Purposeless agent spam won't be cheap entertainment forever, but you're right that later stages of ind

That's a less efficient protocol than 9pfs and virtiofs, even if you subtract the encryption. An example of improving efficiency: virtiofs has a relatively recent feature to map pages from host memory directly into guest memory, but th

These are all security boundaries of a kind, some more effective than others, balancing priorities according to threat model. Running every app on your phone in a hardware virtual machine would be... an expensive choice.

by jdub 4mo ago
It's not substantially different from previous approaches (9pfs vs. virtiofs). My suggestion: Don't use the host filesystem from the guest at all. It'll be faster, and better isolated. It's a false convenience.

Different threat models. Your typical Android device (and Linux server for that matter, at home or at scale) is not usually running security-sensitive general workloads for multiple tenants in the same OS instance. :-)

Containers (those popularised on Linux by Docker) are built on Linux primitives like cgroups and namespaces, so they're running directly on the same kernel, same VFS, often the same FS, etc. Their isolation properties rely on (a) all t

The underlying Virtualization Framework works on Intel Macs, but they'll miss out on new features landing in macOS 27 and beyond.

by jdub 4mo ago
You can run amd64 binaries inside an aarch64 Linux virtual machine. Although they're not supporting Rosetta for macOS apps from macOS 27, the Rosetta support in Virtualization Framework will remain.

by jdub 4mo ago
Very different: Linux running in a virtual machine can't bind mount into a macOS host's filesystem. So they use virtiofs.

Perhaps one day... A few things contributed to its demise: less industry money sloshing around for travel and sponsorships, a growing sense that "Linux" didn't represent the entire community, and a pandemic. Which left "
