If you run RATs like these on your machines then I'm sorry, this is just a case of fucking around and finding out. Just don't do it. Windows Defender is a thing, it does just fine. For everything else there is least-privilege and

I agree but for different reasons. The whole AI thing is renewing interest in self-hosted infra which happens to be a specialty of mine. Cutting out the "cloud" means having people that actually understand how things work, which m

The problem is these joint scientific efforts were and continue to be effective tools to diffuse more dangerous possibilities. In case you have forgotten Russia is still the 2nd largest nuclear power and their arsenal is enough to eliminate

Precisely, it's just about which abstraction and responsibility level you want to engage with. Managed k8s (from good vendors) means the scheduler is as far as you need to go which is enough to do a great many "self hosted" t

Gitops and a local dev story are more about your application than your deployment environment. Especially because along the way you need to consider building, testing, CI, etc. It's really hard to fault k8s these days, all the original

Yeah but that isn't how the West works. Remember capital is always blameless, individuals that manage capital even more so. Thoughts and prayers, an inconsequential fine and back to business as usual. Instead we could be like China and

I'm as close as you get to an old school Infiniband fanboi. Don't think that Infiniband is somehow an Nvidia moat, if anything because they ate up the last somewhat independent vendor (Mellanox) it's likely it will be replace

Nvidia should be very afraid of AMD. AMDs mastery of chiplet designs is in stark contrast to Nvidias reliance on extremely large and complex dies and pretty lack luster forays into multi-die in the past. If Nvidia doesn't come up with

Well, just because it's not relevant to a regular user doesn't mean it's not relevant to me and people like me. The regular user only installs software others have packaged. I end up packaging software sometimes (maintain a f

Yeah I should give Tumbleweed a try at some point. It's hard to give up the Arch PKGBUILD system though, it's an even simpler ebuild which was originally why I loved Gentoo so much.

by jpgvm 2y ago
I feel like most of these systems tradeoff too much simplicity. I've been using ArchLinux for ~14 years now, previous to that I used Slackware and Gentoo. IMO it's better to be simple, yes there aren't any guarantees but wors

Big money like that is only made one way, security vulns in "software or hardware of interest", sold via brokers to 3 letter agencies (or much less scrupulous actors from time to time).

Claiming DJI stole IP though is ridiculous. They have been so far ahead for so long anything they might have stolen ~15 years ago is surely obsolete.

I know. The idea was to make people think what happens after the rush but apparently that fell flat.

True. Though the last time Stonebraker tried this (VoltDB) they did lean on Java for DB side custom logic. I wasn't really making a comment on that though but rather on overall popularity of TS vs Java, which is mostly just about the i

That is because that is exactly what happened. It was tried, people went too far and tried to build entire applications in FaaS and it was largely unsuccessful. Cue a bunch of migrations onto k8s to contain costs and get back control over p

Maybe, that remains to be seen yet. I do however have high hopes for durable execution as a model even if Temporal doesn't end up being the eventual winner.

It's a lot but Java is still king. The SV bubble seems to forget just how dominant Java is in backend software (well until they get a job at FANG and realise Java never left the building).

It's also an average over a bunch of different reactor technology, not all of which takes the same time to build. The main designs they are employing are from the Hualong One, soon to be Hualong Two line. Hualong One takes around 5 yea

The thing about EVs that I don't get with this argument is US auto has been bailed out, subsidized, protected and otherwise coddled for it's entire life. If that doesn't grant it an unfair advantage what will? The reality is

Yeah so that is one of the possibilities, people start making their own shovels. There are a bunch of others: People start getting shovels from somewhere else even if they aren't quite as good (AMD). They realise there is actually only

So you have a gold field. The miners are digging up the gold and selling it. Say they manage to sell $100 worth of gold. Meanwhile a guy sets up shop selling shovels. For the sake of argument he made $100 selling shovels to the miners. How

It's much less of an embedding than you think. I think of it more as borrowing enough JS syntax that JSON is valid jsonnet. Apart from that though it's own lazy functional language.
